EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, titled "The Plague of Tournai" by Belgian artist Louis Gallait (1810-1887), transports us back to the medieval city of Tournai in 1095 during a time of great crisis. The image symbolizes the "La Grande Procession," a series of Virgin Mary's processions that were organized by Bishop Radbod II in an attempt to put an end to the devastating plague that had been ravaging the city. The painting masterfully captures the somber and prayerful atmosphere of the event. The bishop, dressed in his ecclesiastical robes, leads the procession, his expression one of determination and hope. The faithful citizens of Tournai follow closely behind, their faces etched with concern and devotion. The Virgin Mary, depicted in the center of the procession, gazes down upon the city with a compassionate and comforting expression. The use of rich colors and intricate details adds depth and texture to the scene, making it a stunning representation of a pivotal moment in Tournai's history. The painting is now proudly displayed at the Fine Arts Museum in Tournai, Belgium, serving as a reminder of the power of faith and community during times of hardship.
