EDITORS COMMENTS
The Mother Superior is exorcised by Barre, illustration for the possessed of Loudun in Les Mysteres de la Science by Louis Figuier, 1886 (engraving) captures a haunting moment during the infamous possession affair in Poitou during the 17th century. The image depicts the intense struggle between good and evil as Barre, an exorcist, attempts to rid the Mother Superior of her demonic affliction. In this gripping scene, we witness the power of superstition and religious fervor as nuns from the Ursuline order believed themselves to be bewitched by Urbain Grandier, a priest. The engraving showcases their desperation and fear as they turn to exorcism to combat what they perceive as devilish forces at work. The artist skillfully portrays the tension and anguish on both sides - with Barre wielding a monstrance symbolizing divine intervention while facing off against a tormented nun. The intricate details bring this historical event to life; every line etched into paper tells a story of faith tested and darkness confronted. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with mysteries beyond our comprehension. It invites us to contemplate how belief systems shape our understanding of reality and how individuals grapple with unseen forces that challenge their very existence. As we gaze upon this artwork from centuries past, we are reminded that even in an age dominated by science and reason, there are still enigmas that defy explanation.
