EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "L'Estropie à la Béquille et à La Jambe de Bois" takes us back to the 17th century, showcasing the remarkable artistic movement of that time. The image, captured in black and white, presents a broken yet powerful concept of disability through the lens of Jacques Callot. In this engraving from his renowned series called "Varie Figure Gobbi" we witness a disfigured man standing with a crutch and a wooden leg. This portrayal challenges societal norms by shedding light on individuals with disabilities who were often marginalized during that era. Callot's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures the physical attributes of this mythical creature-like figure. With roots in French folklore, this goblin-like character represents not only an individual but also serves as a symbol for all those who have been labeled as different or grotesque. As we observe this portrait, we are reminded of the rich heritage art that France has contributed to our world. Through graphic art techniques such as etching and engraving, Callot brings life to his subjects while leaving room for interpretation and contemplation. This thought-provoking print invites us to reflect on society's perception of disability throughout history and encourages empathy towards those facing physical challenges. It stands proudly within museum walls, preserving both artistic mastery and social commentary for generations to come.
