EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment during the suppression of religious orders in late 18th century France. In this image, we witness a Capuchin Friar reluctantly parting with his habit, symbolizing the forced abandonment of his religious identity. The recipient of this solemn exchange is a Jewish second-hand clothes dealer, highlighting the diverse consequences faced by different faiths during this tumultuous period. The context behind this scene lies in the passing of an act by the National Assembly called the Civil Constitution of the Clergy. This legislation aimed to subordinate the Roman Catholic Church in France to state control, triggering widespread opposition and resistance from clergy members who refused to take an oath supporting it. In depicting this powerful interaction between two individuals representing different religions and occupations, we are reminded of both repression and resilience. The friar's decision to relinquish his habit signifies not only personal sacrifice but also defiance against a system that sought to suppress religious freedom. This thought-provoking engraving serves as a visual testament to one aspect of religious persecution endured during the French Revolution. It invites us to reflect on themes such as identity, occupation, rebellion, and ultimately reminds us that even amidst adversity, human spirit endures.
