EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a chilling scene from the infamous "Affair of the Poisons" that unfolded in 17th century France. In this macabre depiction, Abbe Etienne Guibourg, a defrocked priest known as Monsieur le Prieur, conducts a black mass on the naked body of Madame de Montespan. The sinister ceremony takes place in the presence of La Voisin, one of the central figures in this scandalous affair. The Affair of the Poisons was a dark chapter in French history characterized by accusations of witchcraft, poisonings, and illicit rituals. This drawing by Henry de Malvost brings to life an event that shocked society at its core. Intriguingly disturbing details emerge from this image: Madame de Montespan serves at the altar while Abbot Guibourg ruthlessly slaughters a child before Catherine Monvoisin (also known as Montvoisin). These shocking acts underscored the depths to which individuals were willing to go for power and influence during this tumultuous period. Jules Bois' book "Satanism and Magic" published in 1895, sheds light on these dark practices and provides valuable insight into their historical context. Preserved within private collections today, such images serve as reminders of humanity's capacity for both cruelty and fascination with forbidden knowledge. As we gaze upon this haunting artwork captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of The Holbarn Archive, we are reminded once again that history is not always filled with tales of heroism but also encompasses stories shrouded in darkness and intrigue.
