"Meaulle Fortune (1844-1901): Capturing the Dark Realities of History through Engravings" Step into the haunting world of Meaulle Fortune, a talented engraver whose work delves deep into the depths of human tragedy and historical events. From depicting the devastating Plague in Milan during 1630-1631 to capturing the heart-wrenching Deportation of Queen Nathalie from Serbia in 1891, Meaulle's engravings serve as windows to our past. In one chilling piece, Four black lynches men are beaten to death and hanged for murdering a master of works in Florida back in 1892. The artist's attention to detail brings forth an unsettling reality that forces us to confront our darkest impulses. Not shying away from portraying violence, Meaulle also showcases French colonial troops executing spies in Algeria. These color lithographs depict a brutal chapter in history that reminds us of the atrocities committed under colonial rule. However, it is not just bloodshed that captures Meaulle's attention; he also explores tragic moments filled with irony and despair. In A tragic game of blind man's buff, we witness individuals stumbling blindly through life while fate plays its cruel hand. The artist doesn't shy away from illustrating shocking scenes either - such as A young man cut into pieces or A French policeman killed in the line of duty. Through these vivid images, Meaulle challenges society's complacency by forcing us to confront uncomfortable truths about violence and its consequences. Yet amidst this darkness, there are glimpses of everyday life captured by his skilled hand. In Puyjoli by Jules Claretie illustration, we see a pretty blond young man experiencing rejection after proposing marriage - a relatable moment tainted by laughter and humiliation.
