EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Back from the dead" showcases a remarkable scene that evokes feelings of revival, miracle, and amazement. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, this colour lithograph captures a moment of astonishment as someone emerges alive from their own coffin. The image was originally published as an illustration for Le Petit Parisien (Supplement Litteraire Illustre) on August 11,1901. It depicts a bedridden individual who had been mistakenly presumed dead and buried prematurely. The surprise and shock on the faces of those surrounding the bed are palpable, reflecting their disbelief at witnessing such an extraordinary event. The composition is rich with symbolism related to death and resurrection. Tombstones, crypts, sepulchres, and gravestones serve as haunting reminders of mortality while also highlighting the triumph over it in this particular instance. The great bed adorned with luxurious furnishings adds to the overall sense of surprise within a domestic setting. Looking at this print elicits strong emotions - awe mixed with relief - as viewers contemplate what it would be like to cheat death itself. This artwork serves as a testament to human fallibility but also reminds us that miracles can happen even in our darkest moments. With its historical significance and powerful imagery, "Back from the dead" continues to captivate audiences today through its ability to evoke wonderment and provoke contemplation about life's mysteries.
