EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Nicolas Poussin's renowned masterpiece, "The Plague of Asdod says the Philistines struck by the Plague". Painted in the 17th century, this monumental work measures 1.4x1.9 meters and is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Poussin's painting depicts a scene from biblical times when the Philistines were afflicted by a devastating plague. The artist skillfully captures the chaos and despair that engulfed their society during this epidemic. In this image, we see a young girl standing amidst a crowd of people affected by disease. Her innocent face reflects both fear and resignation as she witnesses death and suffering all around her. Through his masterful brushstrokes, Poussin explores themes of human vulnerability and mortality. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of how pandemics have shaped societies throughout history, transcending time and place. As we gaze upon this photograph taken by Jean-Louis Josse, we are reminded of our own experiences with illness and contagion. It prompts us to reflect on the importance of health, particularly for children who are often most vulnerable during such outbreaks. This image not only represents an exceptional piece of French art but also serves as a powerful testament to the enduring impact that epidemics have had on humanity across centuries.
