EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique regional custom of France known as the Breton marriage. The engraving, originally featured in "Le Monde Illustre" in 1883, showcases the beggar prayers for the spouses during this traditional ceremony. The image transports us back to 19th century Brittany, where this age-old tradition took place. As we gaze upon the scene, we witness a group of beggars gathered around a newlywed couple, offering their heartfelt prayers and blessings. Their tattered clothing and weathered faces tell tales of hardship and resilience. The engraving beautifully portrays the essence of this cultural practice - an expression of community support and solidarity during one of life's most significant milestones. It is a reminder that love transcends social boundaries and that even those less fortunate can contribute to moments of joy. Through Stefano Bianchetti's lens, we are transported into a bygone era filled with rich customs and traditions. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation, preserving the beauty of French heritage for generations to come. As we admire this piece from our private collection, let us reflect on the power of unity within diverse communities like Brittany – where even beggars play an integral role in celebrating love and forging lasting bonds between couples.
