EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of solitude and contemplation within the walls of Port-Royal-des-Champs, a French religious order. The nuns are seen engrossed in their lecture, completely absorbed in their studies and spiritual journey. Despite being surrounded by silence and seclusion, they find solace and purpose in this serene environment. The engraving beautifully portrays the essence of loneliness as each nun is depicted individually, yet united through their shared devotion to religion. Their faces reflect deep concentration, illuminated by the soft light that filters through the windows. It is evident that these women have dedicated themselves to a life of prayer and introspection. Port-Royal-des-Champs holds historical significance as it was associated with Jansenism, a theological movement that emphasized personal holiness and strict adherence to Catholic doctrine. This engraving serves as a visual testament to the influence of Jansenism on these devoted nuns. The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of this religious community's daily life, showcasing their commitment to faith amidst solitude. Through this image, we can appreciate the dedication and strength found within these women who have chosen such an unconventional path in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. Stefano Bianchetti's restoration work has brought this 19th-century engraving back to life for us all to admire its beauty today. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection or perhaps at an exhibition like Collection Lemage offers, let us be reminded of the power of faith and reflection even in moments
