EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a painting by Etienne Jeaurat titled "The conduct of the girls of joy in the Salpetriere, the passage by the gates of Saint Bernard". The artwork, created in 1757, depicts an intriguing scene from history. Originally serving as a prison and hospice for women, the present-day Salpetriere Hospital in Paris holds a rich and complex past. In this piece, Jeaurat skillfully captures a moment that transports us back to 18th century France. A horse-drawn cart, resembling an ambulance, is seen passing through the gates of Saint Bernard. Inside are young women who were once confined within these walls but now embark on what appears to be an outing or jaunt. The painting evokes various emotions and raises questions about society's treatment of mental health during that era. It offers glimpses into both madness and resilience as these girls find solace outside their institutional confines. Displayed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, this artwork provides viewers with a unique perspective on historical events surrounding women's lives within institutions like Salpetriere Hospital. Through Jeaurat's masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail, we are transported to another time and place where we can reflect upon societal norms and attitudes towards mental health. This print serves as a reminder of how art has the power to capture moments frozen in time while simultaneously sparking conversations about our collective pasts.
