EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of "Le Grelot" number 367, Satirique en Couleurs. Created in 1878 by Edouard Guillaumin (Pepin), this illustration titled "A 2 sous les chickens de careme!" is a powerful depiction of anticlericalism and the failure of the Church. The image portrays a travelling merchant with an elongated nose, symbolizing deceit and triviality, selling fish during Lent. The caricatured figure represents the Jesuites, highlighting their controversial role within religious order. Through satire, Guillaumin critiques the hypocrisy of those who exploit religion for personal gain. The composition is rich in detail and symbolism. The exaggerated features emphasize the artist's intent to expose corruption within French society during the late 19th century. By juxtaposing commerce with blind faith, Guillaumin challenges traditional beliefs and questions religious authority. The engraving captures both historical context and artistic mastery. It serves as a potent reminder of France's complex relationship with religion at that time. This satirical cartoon not only reflects societal attitudes but also highlights the power of journalism as a medium for social commentary. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from history, allowing us to appreciate its significance today. As we delve into this thought-provoking artwork, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and continue to inspire conversations about politics, religion, and human nature itself.
