EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mal aria Malaria: Italian family fleeing contagion" depicts a powerful painting by Ernest Antoine Auguste Hebert. Created around 1850, the artwork measures approximately 1.3x1.9 meters and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The painting portrays an Italian family desperately escaping from the clutches of a contagious disease outbreak. With vivid brushstrokes and striking realism, Hebert captures the fear and urgency that permeate their journey to safety. In this scene, we witness a small boat navigating through treacherous waters as the family seeks refuge from the epidemic. The guardian figure at the helm steers with determination while ensuring everyone's well-being during this perilous voyage. Hebert's attention to detail highlights not only their physical struggle but also emphasizes hygiene and health practices amidst adversity. Through his artistry, he sheds light on the importance of maintaining cleanliness and taking necessary precautions during times of illness. This poignant masterpiece serves as a reminder of humanity's resilience in face of pandemics throughout history. It invites viewers to reflect on our shared experiences with sickness, medicine, and ultimately underscores our collective pursuit for better health outcomes. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Photo Josse, it sparks contemplation about how art can transcend time and convey profound messages that resonate even today.
