EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Jean-Baptiste Goy: The Sculptor-Healer of Versailles and Paris" Jean-Baptiste Goy (1666-1736) was a remarkable figure in French history, known for his dual roles as a skilled sculptor at the prestigious court of Versailles and as the first cure (priest) of the Sainte-Marguerite parish in Paris. This image of Goy, taken from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the life of this intriguing man who defied the conventional boundaries of his time. Born in 1666, Goy began his career as a sculptor, working under the tutelage of renowned artists at the royal court of Versailles. His artistic talents were highly regarded, and he made significant contributions to the grandeur and beauty of the palace. However, an unexpected turn of events led Goy to abandon his sculpting tools for a different calling. In 1711, Goy was appointed as the first cure of the Sainte-Marguerite parish in Paris. The parishioners of the church were initially skeptical of their new spiritual leader, as he had no formal theological training. However, Goy's faith and dedication soon won them over. One day, a woman named Marie-Anne approached Goy, seeking his help. She was suffering from a debilitating illness and had been bedridden for years. Desperate and hopeless, she turned to the new cure for guidance. Goy, with unwavering faith, prayed over her and anointed her with oil. To the amazement of everyone present, Marie-Anne was miraculously healed. Word of this healing spread throughout Paris, and Goy's reputation as a healer grew. The image of Jean-Baptiste Goy captures the essence of this extraordinary man, whose life was filled with both artistic and spiritual accomplishments. This photographic print serves as a testament to the power of faith, the transformative nature of miracles, and the enduring legacy of an unconventional hero.
