EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting engraving captures the tragic fate of Enguerrand de Marigny, a powerful minister in the court of Philippe IV who was unjustly accused of corruption and other crimes. The image shows Marigny being condemned by a commission in Vincennes before ultimately being hanged at the Montfaucon gibet that he himself had erected. The artist, Fulgence Girard, skillfully portrays the somber atmosphere surrounding Marigny's execution in this 19th-century engraving from "les mysteres of the great world." The details in the print evoke a sense of betrayal and injustice as Marigny faces his final moments with dignity and courage. Despite his loyal service to Philippe IV, Marigny met a cruel end on April 30th, 1315, when he was executed at Montfaucon. This historical event serves as a reminder of the ruthless nature of politics and power during this tumultuous period in French history. Through this artwork, viewers are transported back to a time when loyalty could be rewarded with treachery and justice was often elusive. Enguerrand de Marigny's story is one that continues to intrigue and captivate audiences centuries later.
