The Wish of the Plague, Procession April 22,1630 - A Grateful City's Tribute to the Black Virgin
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a historic moment in the city of Puy, France. Painted by Jean Solvain in 1630, it depicts a procession held on April 22nd of that year. The inhabitants of Puy are seen expressing their profound gratitude towards the Black Virgin for saving them from an epidemic of plague. The painting showcases a scene filled with religious fervor and solemnity. Members of clergy and nobility can be observed participating in this ritualistic event. Holding candles as symbols of hope and faith, they march through the streets alongside commoners who have been touched by tragedy but now find solace in their shared devotion. The Cathedral Notre-Dame-du-Puy serves as the backdrop for this powerful display of collective thanksgiving. Its towering presence adds to the sense of reverence permeating throughout the artwork. This image not only highlights an important historical event but also reflects upon themes such as tradition, custom, and religion. It reminds us how communities come together during times of crisis to seek solace and express gratitude for deliverance from adversity. As we gaze at this remarkable piece created by Jean Solvain over three centuries ago, we are reminded that art has always played a significant role in capturing moments that shape our history and define our humanity.
