EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense penance and devotion in the life of Nerra Coots, the Count of Anjou. In this 11th-century engraving by Jean Michel Moreau, we witness Nerra's pilgrimage to Jerusalem, where he undergoes an extraordinary act of self-mortification. Stripped naked with a rope tightly bound around his neck, Nerra is dragged through the streets of Jerusalem while one of his squires relentlessly whips him with yards. The pain etched on his face reflects both physical suffering and spiritual surrender as he beseeches God for grace. The artist's intricate detailing transports us back to this medieval scene, capturing the raw emotions and religious fervor that surrounded acts of penitence during that time. The contrast between Nerra's vulnerability and the bustling city streets creates a powerful visual narrative. Nerra's pilgrimage serves as a reminder of the lengths individuals would go to seek redemption and divine favor in an era deeply entrenched in faith. This engraving offers us a glimpse into a chapter from history when personal sacrifice was seen as integral to spiritual growth. Stefano Bianchetti's expert curation ensures that this image remains preserved for generations to come, allowing us to reflect upon our own understanding of devotion and sacrifice in today's world.
