EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print depicts Sainte Bathilde, also known as Batilde or Bathylle, a prominent figure in history. Born in 626, she was the Queen of the Francs and the widow of Clovis II. In a surprising turn of events, she made the decision to take the veil and become a nun at the monastery of Chelles in 665. The engraving by Jean Michel Moreau, also known as Moreau le Jeune, beautifully captures this pivotal moment in Sainte Bathilde's life. The artwork showcases her subjects desperately trying to stop her from entering religious life. Their expressions reveal their disbelief and perhaps even their resistance towards losing such an influential queen. Moreau's attention to detail is evident through his intricate engravings that bring each character to life. The composition exudes drama and tension while highlighting Sainte Bathilde's determination to follow her calling despite opposition. This piece serves as a reminder of Sainte Bathilde's courage and devotion during an era when women were expected to fulfill traditional roles within society. It offers viewers a glimpse into French history during the Merovingian period and sheds light on one woman's journey towards spiritual enlightenment amidst societal expectations. Stefano Bianchetti has skillfully preserved this historical gem through his fine art photography collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance within French culture.
