EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 13th century, depicting the punishment for adultery in all its stark reality. The adulterous man and woman are caught in flagrante delicto, their naked bodies bound by a rope as they walk through the city streets of Agen. Preceded by two trumpet players and followed by a group of batons, this public spectacle serves as a warning to others about the consequences of infidelity. The illuminated miniature comes from the manuscript Book of Statutes and Customs of the City of Agen, dating back to circa 1250-1270. It offers us a glimpse into medieval society's strict moral code and its approach to justice. The image evokes strong emotions as we witness not only the humiliation endured by these individuals but also contemplate societal norms surrounding sexuality, marriage, and fidelity. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where laws were enforced with severity and public shaming was used as a means of deterrence. The composition skillfully captures both the solemnity and chaos that surround this event while highlighting key elements such as musical instruments symbolizing order amidst turmoil. As we reflect on this historical moment frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that our understanding of morality has evolved over centuries. This thought-provoking image invites us to ponder how societies have grappled with issues related to love, commitment, punishment, and personal freedom throughout history.
