EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful scene from the 18th century, depicting the practice of assistance to Gabrielle Moler. The image is an engraving taken from Louis Basile Carre de Montgeron's book "La verite des miracles de M. de Paris" published in 1747. The illustration showcases a group of French religious pilgrims known as convulsionaries, who were associated with the Jansenist movement during the reign of Louis XV. These devout individuals exhibited intense convulsions and agitations while seeking spiritual healing at the cemetery Saint-Medard. In this particular moment, we witness a female convulsionary being assisted by clergy members in her state of possession. The mystic atmosphere surrounding them is palpable as they engage in fervent prayer and ritualistic practices aimed at curing madness and achieving miraculous healings. The image highlights not only the fanatical devotion of these religious sects but also their belief in divine intervention through physical manifestations such as violent agitation and convulsions. It offers a glimpse into a world where faith, mysticism, and cure intertwine within blurred motions. As we observe this historical snapshot captured by Bridgeman Images, it serves as a reminder of how religion has often been intertwined with acts of healing throughout history – whether through priests, imams or other religious figures acting as healers or bonesetters. This image invites us to contemplate both the power of faith and its impact on those seeking solace in times past.
