The Misunderstood - Jesus Christ and Marianne are left out in the cold night, 1905
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant lithograph that captures the essence of exclusion and rejection. Created by Leal de Camara in 1905, this artwork depicts Jesus Christ and Marianne, symbolizing humanity, standing outside on a snowy night. The image portrays a powerful message of social alienation and religious hypocrisy. The caption beneath the print reads: "Do not be surprised, Marianne if they put you out. . . I myself am no longer recognized in any church". This quote emphasizes how even Jesus himself feels rejected by organized religion. The use of color adds depth to the composition. The dark blue hues evoke a sense of loneliness and despair while contrasting with the warm glow emanating from Marianne's hat. Her Phrygian cap, an emblem of liberty, further highlights her role as a representation of oppressed individuals. Published in L'Assiette au Beurre magazine in December 1905 during Christmas time, this print challenges traditional notions associated with the holiday season. It reminds viewers that amidst celebrations and festivities, there are those who remain marginalized and forgotten. "The Misunderstood" serves as a timeless reminder to embrace compassion and empathy for all individuals who find themselves excluded or misunderstood by society. Through its evocative imagery and thought-provoking symbolism, this lithograph continues to resonate with audiences today.
