EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch for a mural painting, titled "Procession de saint Charles Borromée pendant la peste de Milan" (Procession of Saint Charles Borromeo during the Milan Pestilence) by Pierre-Auguste Pichon, dates back to 1861. The painting captures a poignant moment in Christian history as the Archbishop of Milan, Saint Charles Borromeo, leads a procession through the streets of Milan during a devastating outbreak of the bubonic plague. The composition is rich in symbolism and emotion. At the center stands the venerable figure of Saint Charles Borromeo, dressed in his episcopal robes and holding a crucifix, leading the procession with unwavering determination. Surrounding him are a group of men and women, their faces etched with fear and concern, as they follow their spiritual leader in a desperate plea for divine intervention. The use of color and light in the sketch adds to the overall sense of drama and intensity. The archway in the background, adorned with intricate carvings, frames the scene and emphasizes the indoor, indoor setting. The archbishop and the procession are bathed in a warm, golden light, while the shadows cast by the figures and the archway create a sense of depth and three-dimensionality. This powerful work of art, created by the French painter Pierre-Auguste Pichon, is a testament to the resilience and faith of the people during times of crisis. It is now part of the collection of the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, a renowned institution dedicated to the history of Paris and France.
