EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "La France pouvait et devait avoir quelques hospices de fous appeles trappistes" by Louis Charles Bombled transports us to a moment in history. The print, part of a private collection, depicts an illustration for Le Memorial de Saint-Helene by Le Comte De Las Cases. In this vibrant artwork, we witness the convergence of two worlds: that of the renowned Emperor Napoleon I and the tranquil existence of Trappist monks. The image portrays a monastery where these devout men reside, their peaceful lives contrasting with the tumultuous reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. Bombled's skillful use of color brings life to every detail - from the lush greenery surrounding the monastery to the intricate architecture that houses these contemplative souls. Through this visual narrative, we are reminded that even amidst chaos and power struggles, there exists a need for solace and reflection. The title itself hints at a deeper meaning; it suggests that perhaps France could have benefited from having such asylums for those driven mad by ambition or consumed by power. It invites us to ponder whether society would be better served if more individuals sought refuge in spiritual retreats rather than pursuing dominance over others. This thought-provoking lithograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical commentary on human nature. It reminds us that even great leaders like Napoleon can find wisdom in simplicity and tranquility – lessons we can still learn from today.
