EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the aldermen from the Ex-Voto painting, created in 1696 by Nicolas de Largilliere. The artwork, crafted with oil on canvas, can be found within the Church of Saint-Etienne-du-Mont in Paris, France. In this particular section of the painting, we witness an extraordinary moment as the aldermen take an oath to St. Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris. Dressed in their elegant robes and gowns, these county magistrates kneel before a divine presence with utmost reverence and devotion. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; each figure exudes a sense of solemnity and piety. Their expressions reflect deep contemplation and fervent prayer as they make their sacred vow. Noteworthy elements such as wigs add an air of formality to this historical scene while emphasizing the importance bestowed upon this ritualistic act. Largilliere masterfully captures both individual portraits and collective unity within this composition. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also serves as a window into history—a testament to faith and dedication that transcends time. It invites us to delve into centuries-old traditions while marveling at Largilliere's ability to immortalize such profound moments through his skillful brushwork.
