EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting woodcut print captures the dramatic exorcism of Nicole Aubry at Notre Dame de Laon in 1556. The image shows 29 demons, depicted as black specks flying near the roof of the Cathedral, supposedly possessing Nicole during this intense spiritual battle. The exorcism lasted a grueling nine days, drawing significant public attention and fascination with the process.
Intricately detailed and filled with religious symbolism, this woodcut transports us back to the 16th century when beliefs in demonic possession and supernatural forces were prevalent. The artist skillfully conveys the terror and intensity of the exorcism through intricate lines and shading, capturing both the physical struggle and spiritual warfare taking place.
The scene is set against the backdrop of Notre Dame de Laon, adding an eerie atmosphere to the already chilling subject matter. The demons swirl menacingly around Nicole as she undergoes this harrowing ordeal under the watchful eyes of priests and onlookers.
This print serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with religion, evil forces, and our eternal quest for salvation. It is a testament to both historical events and artistic expression that continues to captivate viewers centuries later.
