This print captures a significant moment in history known as the Calas case. On 13 October 1761, Marc Antoine Calas was tragically found hanged in his family boutique in Toulouse. This powerful engraving, featured in "Causes celebres de tous les peuples" by Armand Fouquier, depicts the aftermath of this shocking event. The image showcases the profound impact of religion and prejudice on society during the 18th century. Marc Antoine Calas was a Christian Protestant, and his death sparked controversy and outrage within Christendom. The engraving serves as a haunting reminder of the injustice faced by those who held different religious beliefs. The use of color adds depth to this thought-provoking artwork, emphasizing the somber atmosphere surrounding this tragedy. It also highlights the various emotions evoked by such a devastating loss - from grief to anger to disbelief. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in French history.
