EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Peasants pausing from their work in the fields for prayers as ordered by the King" transports us back to a time of deep religious devotion and rural labor. The color lithograph, created by Job (pseudonym for Onfray de Breville) and Jacques Montorgueil in 1905, depicts a scene set in medieval France during the reign of Louis XI. In this image, we see hardworking peasants dressed in traditional costumes taking a momentary break from their agricultural tasks to fulfill an order from their monarch. As commanded by King Louis XI, they pause to engage in prayer amidst the vast countryside. Their heads bowed and hands clasped together, these humble individuals demonstrate unwavering faith and obedience. The composition beautifully captures the essence of 15th-century French life - simple yet profound. It offers a glimpse into the intersection between religion and daily existence during that era. The lush green fields serve as a backdrop for this spiritual interlude, emphasizing the harmony between nature's bounty and man's spiritual connection. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the power that faith held over people's lives centuries ago. It serves as a testament to both Christian values and historical traditions within French culture. This print not only preserves an important moment in history but also invites contemplation on our own relationship with spirituality amidst our modern-day pursuits.
