EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the unfortunate family of Jean Calas during a dark period in French history. The composition showcases the mother, two daughters, their loyal servant Jeanne Viguiere, as well as the son and his friend. Taken in 1762 by Leonard de Selva, this engraving depicts a significant moment known as the Calas affair. The Calas affair was a highly controversial event that unfolded during the 18th century in France. It revolved around Jean Calas, who tragically lost his life due to false accusations and religious intolerance. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the injustices faced by this innocent family. As we observe this historical photograph, we are reminded of the strength and resilience displayed by these individuals amidst adversity. The expressions on their faces convey both sorrow and determination, reflecting their unwavering spirit despite being caught up in an unjust legal battle. Preserved within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France; this print allows us to delve into an important chapter of French history. Through its intricate details and delicate engravings, it transports us back to a time when prejudice prevailed over reason. Leonard de Selva's work immortalizes not only this unfortunate family but also sheds light on broader themes such as justice and religious tolerance. As we contemplate this remarkable piece of artistry from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us remember those who have suffered at the hands of injustice throughout history while striving for a more compassionate future
