EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 18th-century print, we witness a pivotal moment in the life of Marguerite Francoise du Chene, a young woman who was believed to be cured of her debilitating ailments at the tomb of M. de Paris, Saint-Medard in Paris. The convulsionnaires, a group of individuals who experienced spontaneous convulsions and were believed to be possessed by saints or the divine, were a common phenomenon during this period in France. Marguerite, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, is shown being supported by two nuns as she approaches the ornate tomb of M. de Paris. Her face is contorted in the throes of a convulsion, her eyes closed in ecstasy or pain. The crowd that has gathered around her, including clergymen and onlookers, bears witness to this miraculous event. The tomb of M. de Paris, located in the Church of Saint-Medard in Paris, was a popular site for pilgrimages and miraculous cures. The belief was that the saint interceded on behalf of those who sought his help, granting them relief from their afflictions. Marguerite's experience, along with many others, added to the growing legend of the curative powers of the tomb. This print, created in 1731, is a testament to the deep-rooted faith and belief in the paranormal and miraculous during this period in French history. The image captures the intensity and emotion of the moment, as well as the collective hope and belief in the power of the saints to heal and bring comfort to those in need. Marguerite Francoise du Chene's story is just one of many that were documented and spread through prints and other forms of media during this time. The print serves as a reminder of the profound impact that faith and belief could have on individuals and communities, and the enduring power of the human spirit to seek solace and healing in the face of adversity.
