"Peur: Exploring the Depths of Fear Through Art and History" Step into a world where fear takes center stage, as we delve into the captivating realm of "peur. " From ancient Rome to 19th-century Paris, fear has been portrayed in various forms throughout history. In La Batterie Des Hommes Sans Peur, witness the paranormal activity that leaves us astounded - a newborn moving objects by levitation. Is it poltergeist or telekinesis? The mysteries of the supernatural continue to intrigue us. L'apparition d'un spectre in "Je sais tout, " 1912, transports us to an era when ghostly apparitions sent shivers down our spines. This chromolithography from the end of the 19th century reminds us of our fascination with the unknown. Persee et les gorgones depicted by Walter Crane in "A wonder book for girls and boys, " 1895, unveils a mythical encounter filled with terror and bravery. Can Perseus overcome his fears and face these monstrous creatures? The charge of the Prince of Lambesc on July 12, 1789, captures a momentous event during the French Revolution. Jean Baptiste Lallemand's painting immortalizes this act of courage amidst chaos and uncertainty. Jules Girardet's artwork portrays The deroute of Cholet Insurrection armed in Vendee in March 1793. Witness how fear can drive people towards rebellion but ultimately lead them towards defeat. Honore Daumier's Charivari series sheds light on societal expectations regarding protection within marriage through satire and humor. Who should protect whom? A thought-provoking question indeed. Travel back to Ancient Rome where gladiators engaged in fights while cowards trembled at their fate. These colored engravings give us glimpses into both bravery and cowardice within Roman society.
