The Infant Richard crucified by the Jews, at Pontoise
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a thought-provoking engraving that captures the controversial themes of antisemitism and medieval customs. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 19th century, this print is based on a woodcut illustration by Wohlgemuth from the renowned "Liber Chronicarum Mundi". The image depicts a tragic scene from history where young Richard, an innocent child, is cruelly crucified by Jewish figures in Pontoise. This portrayal reflects deep-rooted prejudices prevalent during that era. The intricate details and large folio size of this artwork emphasize its significance as it was intended to be part of Paul Lacroix's book on Manners, Customs, and Dress during the Middle Ages. Although disturbing and distressing today, this engraving sheds light on historical attitudes towards Jews during the Renaissance period. It serves as a reminder of how art can both reflect and perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Digitally cleaned for clarity while preserving its original essence, this image invites viewers to critically examine societal biases throughout different periods in history. As we contemplate this piece within our modern context, it prompts us to challenge prejudice and discrimination that still persist today. By acknowledging past injustices depicted in artworks like these, we strive towards creating a more inclusive society where diversity is celebrated rather than vilified.
