EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the "Embarkation of the Sisters of Charity of the Hotel Dieu de Paris". Taken from Le Livre de Vie Active de l'Hotel Dieu by Jean Henry in approximately 1482, this vellum manuscript transports us back to medieval France. In this scene, we witness a group of nuns dressed in their distinctive white habits boarding a boat. The solemn expressions on their faces hint at the gravity and importance of their mission. These dedicated sisters belonged to the renowned Hotel Dieu de Paris, known for its hospice and hospital services. The composition exudes an air of mystery as sunlight filters through the clouds overhead, casting shadows on both water and land. The intricate details captured by the French School artist highlight every fold in their garments and every ripple in the water beneath them. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of these brave women's commitment to serving others but also of how far healthcare has come since those medieval times. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that compassion knows no bounds or era. Displayed proudly at Musee de l'Assistance Publique Hopitaux de Paris in France, this remarkable piece is part of eArchives Charmet's collection. Its presence evokes admiration for these selfless nuns who embarked on journeys unknown with unwavering dedication to caring for those most vulnerable among us.
