The Revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685), Protestant Fugitives
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful lithograph that captures the heart-wrenching consequences of religious persecution. Created by Maurice Leloir in 1890, this print showcases his exceptional talent for storytelling through art. The scene depicted in the lithograph takes us back to one of the darkest moments in French history. The year is 1685, and King Louis XIV has just revoked the Edict of Nantes, which had granted religious freedom to Protestants. As a result, thousands of Huguenots are forced to flee their homes and seek refuge elsewhere. Leloir's attention to detail brings this historical event to life. We see families torn apart as they desperately try to escape persecution. Fear and anguish are etched on their faces as they embark on a treacherous journey into an uncertain future. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and emotion to each figure, emphasizing their struggle against oppression. This lithograph serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of religious tolerance and human rights. It reminds us that even in times when intolerance prevails, there will always be those who fight for freedom and justice. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, "The Revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685), Protestant Fugitives" continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
