EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a powerful scene from the 18th century, titled "La Peste chez les Philistins (Plague Among the Philistines)" found in an album called "Recueil de Compositions par Lagrenee Le Jeune (Collection of Compositions by Lagrenee the Younger), 1782-1821". This black and white etching, created by Jean Jacques Lagrenee, depicts a biblical narrative with deep religious symbolism. In this image, we see a group of people gathered in panic within a city. The composition showcases both men and women, young and old alike. A sense of fear permeates their expressions as they gesture towards something unseen. One woman stands out among them all, her hand raised high as if pleading for divine intervention. Lagrenee's masterful use of light and shadow creates a dramatic atmosphere that emphasizes the gravity of the situation. The intricate details reveal not only his artistic skill but also his profound understanding of human emotion. This artwork serves as a reminder of the devastating impact that disease can have on society throughout history. It reflects themes such as death, health crisis, and faith during the Rococo period in France. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum (the Met) today, this piece is part of Lagrenee's series on biblical subjects which aimed to convey moral lessons through art. Its inclusion in an album dedicated to his compositions speaks to its significance within his body of work. Overall, this striking photograph print
