EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in French history - the death of Felix Faure, the president of France from 1895 to 1899. The image showcases Abbe Renault granting him absolution, symbolizing forgiveness and spiritual solace during his final moments. The engraving, originally published in "Le Pelerin" on February 26th, 1899, offers a glimpse into this solemn event that shook the nation. The French School's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this artwork. Felix Faure's presidency was marked by political turmoil and scandals; however, this poignant scene reminds us that even powerful statesmen seek redemption and find comfort in religious order during their last breaths. Stefano Bianchetti's restoration work has breathed new life into this historical artifact while preserving its original essence. The vibrant colors used add depth and emotion to an already profound moment captured within the frame. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a time when France mourned the loss of one of its leaders. It serves as a reminder that despite our differences or positions in society, we all face mortality with hopes for forgiveness and peace at our journey's end.
