EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Ex-Voto, 1880" by Ulysse Louis Auguste Butin takes us back to a simpler time in the coastal region of Bretagne, France. This oil on canvas masterpiece, displayed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Lille, captures a poignant moment of gratitude and faith. In this scene, we witness a family of fishermen offering a meticulously crafted model boat as an ex-voto. The boat symbolizes their livelihood and serves as a heartfelt expression of thanks for safe voyages and bountiful catches. Standing before a calvaire (a crucifixion monument), they seek divine protection for themselves and their fellow seafarers. The painting's composition is strikingly realistic, showcasing Butin's skillful brushwork. The attention to detail in every element - from the weathered faces of the fishermen to the intricate carvings on the calvaire - transports us into this humble fishing community. This ex-voto tradition was deeply rooted in Catholicism and held great significance along Brittany's rugged coastlines. It served as both an act of devotion and communal solidarity among those who relied on the sea for their survival. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded not only of its artistic brilliance but also its historical importance. It offers us a glimpse into the lives and beliefs that shaped generations past – reminding us to appreciate our own blessings while honoring those who came before us.
