EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the vibrant Catholic fete, Feast of Saint John in Aix en Provence. The focal point of the image is the burning remains of a mannequin, which are being precipitated into the Fountain of the Four Dolphins. This ancient fountain, dating back to 1667, adds an air of mystique to the scene. In the background stands the magnificent Church of Saint John of Malta, showcasing its impressive Gothic architecture from the 13th century.
