EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous event in French history - "The Departure of the Jesuits" in 1880. Created by Pasquin, a renowned artist from that era, this color lithograph depicts the expulsion of the Jesuits from France following a new law enacted by Jules Ferry. At first glance, one is immediately drawn to the satirical nature of this artwork. The caricatured figures represent politicians and members of society who were involved in expelling the Society of Jesus from France. With exaggerated features and comical expressions, these figures symbolize power dynamics and political maneuvering during that time. The underlying message conveyed through this image goes beyond mere entertainment; it reflects an important historical turning point. The expulsion was part of an effort to establish a public education system free from church domination. This bold move aimed to redefine societal norms and challenge religious influence within politics. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this print serves as a reminder of how art can be used as social commentary. It invites viewers to reflect upon questions surrounding religion's role in governance and highlights tensions between state power and religious institutions. As we delve into this thought-provoking piece captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate its significance as both an artistic creation and historical documentation – shedding light on past
