EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Madeleine throws herself at the feet of Jesus" transports us back to the 14th century. The image depicts a profound moment of devotion and surrender as Madeleine, identified as Mary Magdalene, prostrates herself before Jesus Christ. The artist Ciappori skillfully captures the intensity of this biblical scene, while Lagrillere's lithography brings it to life with vibrant colors and exceptional quality. This print is part of Les Arts Somptuaires, Histoire du Costume et de l'Amueublement (History of Costume and Furnishings), published in 1858 by Hangard-Mauge. In this medieval setting, we see a group gathered around a dining table adorned with exquisite furniture representative of the Middle Ages. The composition highlights the contrast between Madeleine's humble posture and those seated at the table - men and women engaged in conversation or enjoying their meal. Through this artwork, we are reminded of Christian values such as humility, faith, and redemption. Madeleine's act symbolizes her repentance for past sins and her unwavering love for Jesus Christ. As we contemplate this powerful image from French School in the 19th century, it invites us to reflect on our own relationship with spirituality and how we can find solace in moments of deep devotion like Madeleine did centuries ago.
