EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, we are transported back in time to witness a mesmerizing demonstration by the renowned German doctor, Frederic Antoine Mesmer, also known as Franz Anton Mesmer. The scene unfolds at the royal court with Queen Marie Antoinette and members of her court gathered around a bucket session, known as Mesmer's bucket.
As the illustration from "The Necklace of the Queen" by Alexandre Dumas pere depicts, Queen Marie Antoinette appears unconscious during this magnetic therapy session. Mesmerism, or animal magnetism as it was called, was a theory founded by Dr. Mesmer that believed in the power of magnetic forces to heal and influence individuals.
The atmosphere is tense as onlookers watch intently while the queen lies fainting before them. The intricate details captured in this print transport us into a moment frozen in time where science and mysticism collide.
This historical snapshot serves as a reminder of the intrigue and fascination surrounding mesmerism during that era. It is a testament to how even royalty sought out alternative forms of healing and therapy in their pursuit of wellness.
Through this image, we are given a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter of history where belief in unseen energies held sway over minds and bodies alike.
