The Chapel of the Enfants-Trouves in Paris - Saint Vincent de Paul, 1756
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the 18th century. Created by Etienne Fessard, this exquisite engraving showcases the left lateral side of the chapel dedicated to Saint Vincent de Paul. The image transports us to France, where we find ourselves immersed in the rich heritage of French Christianity. The chapel served as a significant institution during its time - an orphanage known as Hopital des Enfants-Trouves or Foundling Hospital. It was founded by Saint Vincent de Paul himself, a renowned philanthropist and priest who dedicated his life to helping those in need. In this remarkable artwork, Fessard skillfully captures the essence of this sacred space. We see a full-length depiction of a man standing within the chapel's walls. This figure represents Saint Vincent de Paul and symbolizes his unwavering commitment to religious devotion and compassion for others. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its cultural significance. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring quest for faith and our innate desire to alleviate suffering through acts of kindness. Etienne Fessard's print invites us into a world steeped in history, inviting contemplation on themes such as religion, philanthropy, and social welfare that continue to resonate with audiences today.
