EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a significant moment in history as Louis Basile Carre de Montgeron receives a lettre de cachet from King Louis XV. The engraving, created by the French School in the 18th century, is housed at the Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. In this powerful image, we witness Montgeron's encounter with absolute monarchy and its consequences. Known for his defense of Deacon Francois de Paris and the convulsionaries of Saint-Medard against Jansenism persecution, Montgeron finds himself at odds with those in power. His conversion to their cause only intensifies his struggle. The photograph delves into themes of religious intolerance and censorship prevalent during that era. It showcases the immense power wielded by nobility over individuals like Montgeron who dared to challenge established norms. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom of belief and expression. The crucifix prominently displayed serves as a symbol of faith amidst adversity. This print not only documents an important historical event but also invites us to reflect on our own society's treatment of dissenting voices. It stands as a testament to the enduring human spirit that perseveres even when faced with persecution and imprisonment. Through Bridgeman Images' meticulous preservation efforts, this remarkable piece continues to inspire contemplation about past struggles while urging us towards greater tolerance and understanding in our present world.
