"Felons: Unveiling the Shadows of Crime and Infamy" Step back in time to 1837, when the Sheffield Association for the Prosecution and receivers of stolen goods established its rules. This organization aimed to bring justice to those who had strayed from the path of righteousness. One notorious felon that left an indelible mark on history was Vincenzo Peruggia, an Italian painter who audaciously stole the Mona Lisa from the Louvre in 1911. His mug shot captured his cunning eyes, forever immortalizing him as a mastermind thief. Delving deeper into infamy, we encounter Le Pilori's cover art titled "Fourmies secret" from 1892. This engraving shrouds secrets within its intricate details, whispering tales of hidden crimes waiting to be uncovered. Even Martin Luther found himself intertwined with a robber named Hans Kohlhase during the 1500s. An engraving from that era depicts their unlikely alliance, reminding us that even great figures can have connections with felons. The assassination of King Henry IV in 1610 is etched into history through an evocative engraving from 1897. It captures this tragic event that shook nations and serves as a stark reminder of how far-reaching consequences can be when felons act upon their dark intentions. Art also reflects society's fascination with criminality; Medardo Rosso's sculpture "Lo scaccino" portrays a mysterious figure whose intentions remain concealed beneath layers of intrigue and suspicion. In contrast, Beatrice Cenci's oil painting reveals her haunting beauty while concealing her involvement in her father's murder during the seventeenth century—a chilling reminder that appearances can deceive. Le Petit Journal brings us face-to-face with The Humbert Family at Crown Court in August 1903—an illustration showcasing how crime affects not only individuals but entire families caught up in its web.
