The Death of the Righteous Man and the Death of the Sinner - A Glimpse into 19th Century Religious Beliefs
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Death of the Righteous Man and the Death of the Sinner" offers a profound insight into religious beliefs during the late 19th century. Created by an anonymous French School artist, this illustration was part of a pictorial catechism published by La Bonne Presse. In this vividly colored lithograph, we witness contrasting scenes that depict two different fates in the afterlife. On one side, surrounded by celestial angels and bathed in divine light, stands a righteous man accompanied by a priest administering extreme unction or last rites. This portrayal symbolizes salvation and eternal peace for those who have led virtuous lives. On the other side lies a sinner tormented by menacing devils representing temptation and evil forces. The presence of these demons signifies damnation for those who have strayed from righteousness. This image not only serves as an educational tool but also reflects popular religious tracts prevalent at that time. It highlights society's fascination with concepts such as redemption, judgment, and life after death. Through this artwork's intricate details - from angelic figures to solemn clergymen - we gain valuable insights into religious practices within various orders like monks or clergy members. As we contemplate this thought-provoking piece from our private collection, it reminds us to reflect on our own moral choices while offering
