EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, titled "View of the Cours (from Marseille) during the plague of 1720" by Michel Serre, transports us back to a time of immense suffering and despair. The scene depicts a bustling street in Marseille during the devastating outbreak of the plague that ravaged Europe in the 18th century. The artist skillfully captures the chaos and desperation that engulfed society at this time. In the foreground, we see a crowd of people from all walks of life - aristocrats, clergy members, horsemen, doctors - all united in their struggle against this deadly disease. A cart carrying bodies serves as a grim reminder of the high death toll. Despite their differences in wealth and social status, everyone is affected by this tragedy. The painting highlights both the fragility and resilience of humanity in times of crisis. It also sheds light on issues such as hygiene and healthcare practices prevalent during that era. Serre's attention to detail is remarkable; every figure tells its own story within this larger narrative. The composition draws our gaze towards a group receiving a benediction from priests and monks – perhaps seeking solace or divine intervention amidst such devastation. As we contemplate this artwork today, it serves as a poignant reminder not only of past pandemics but also our collective ability to overcome adversity through unity and compassion.
