EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the unique and intriguing celebration of the fete dieu instituted by King Rene of Anjou in 1462 in Provence. The image beautifully showcases the blending of the sacred and the profane, as a donkey is prominently featured in this French celebration of Corpus Christi.
The donkey has long been a symbol of humility and peace in Christian tradition, making its presence in this religious procession all the more meaningful. As it parades through the streets adorned with flowers and ribbons, it serves as a reminder of Christ's humble entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.
The intricate details captured in this engraving from "Histoire picturesque des religions" by Clavel offer a glimpse into the rich history and traditions that have shaped Provence over centuries. The black-and-white imagery adds to the timeless quality of this scene, transporting viewers back to the 15th century when such celebrations were at their peak.
This print is not just a visual representation but also a window into a world where faith, tradition, and community intertwine seamlessly. It serves as a poignant reminder of how cultural practices can bring people together across time and space, bridging gaps between past and present.
