EDITORS COMMENTS
The lithograph print titled "Eve Flegen, the Maiden of Meurs, 17th century" captures the intriguing story of a Dutch woman who fasted for an astonishing 14 years. Created in 1869 by Robert Cooper, this artwork is based on a stipple engraving from Henry Wilson and James Caulfields Book of Wonderful Characters. Eve Flegen's remarkable feat took place from age 22 to 36, spanning from 1597 to 1611. Known as the Maiden of Meurs, she subsisted solely on the scent of flowers during her extended period of fasting. The portrait depicts Eve with an air of mystery and curiosity surrounding her. This image transports us back to the early seventeenth century when society was captivated by such peculiarities. It offers a glimpse into a time where strange and eccentric individuals were celebrated for their unique attributes. The bouquet of flowers held by Eve symbolizes both her sustenance and her connection to nature. The delicate floral arrangement adds beauty and color to the composition while also representing wildflowers and flowering plants that sustained her throughout those long years. As we contemplate this extraordinary tale through Bridgeman Images' exquisite reproduction, we are reminded not only of Eve Flegen's incredible hunger strike but also how art can capture moments in history that continue to intrigue us centuries later.
