EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving by Fortune Louis Meaulle depicts the devastating plague that struck Milan in 1630-1631. The artwork, part of a private collection, was created as an illustration for Alexandre Manzoni's novel "The Betrothed" published in 1840. Meaulle skillfully captures the somber atmosphere and despair that engulfed Milan during this tragic period. The image portrays a scene of mourning and grief, with people gathered around a cart carrying victims of the plague. Their faces reflect immense suffering and pain as they mourn their loved ones lost to this deadly epidemic. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of the cityscape, which showcases historical accuracy and adds depth to the composition. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the horrors endured by those affected by contagious diseases throughout history. "The Plague in Milan" not only serves as an artistic representation but also holds historical significance. It sheds light on one of Europe's most devastating plagues, emphasizing its impact on society and individuals alike. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, allowing us to appreciate Meaulle's talent while reflecting on the resilience of humanity in times of crisis.
