"Coutume: A Glimpse into Diverse Traditions and Rituals" Step into the world of coutume, where customs and traditions shape the fabric of society. From Pieter Brueghel II's captivating painting, "The Wedding Procession, " to the sacraments of Christian life depicted in 17th-century oil canvases, we explore the significance of rituals. In Emile Bayard's drawing illustrating "Through the Mysterious Continent, " witness a remarkable act of mercy as Sir H. M. Stanley saves an old prisoner from being burned alive by seeking grace from King Mtesa. Such acts remind us of humanity's capacity for compassion. Journey back to medieval times with Domenico Veneziano's wood painting depicting flagellation, a practice that evokes both awe and curiosity. Meanwhile, a haunting black-and-white photograph captures Empress Minbi, tragically murdered in 1895 on orders from the Japanese ambassador. Discover Russian customs during the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, where peasants gather at Vas li Nogar cemetery to drink tea beside graves while dancing and playing music. The vibrant oil-on-canvas painting by Robert Delaunay transports us to a joyous country party in 1905. On somber occasions like "The Day of Crying, " loved ones come together before burial to release their grief through screaming, lamenting, posturing, and crying. This cathartic ritual allows for collective mourning and healing. Travel across continents with Chinese traveling musicians captured in O. Mathieu's engraving after Tai Ping Shan's drawing—a testament to cultural exchange through music. And delve into Senegambie’s rich heritage with Ferrario’s depiction of "Le Lullunge" feast—an exploration of traditional attire and celebration. Coutume unveils an array of diverse practices that have shaped societies throughout history—each capturing unique aspects of human expression and connection.
