EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases a profound moment in history as Dominique Vivant Denon (1747-1825) delicately replaces the bones of Le Cid in his Tomb. Painted by Alexandre Evariste Fragonard (1780-1850), this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed at the Musee Antoine Lecuyer in Saint-Quentin, France. In this poignant scene, we witness Denon's meticulous care and reverence as he handles the remains of Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar (c. 1043-99), famously known as Le Cid. The French administrator and dramatist Pierre Corneille (1606-84) immortalized Le Cid's heroic deeds through his play, making him an iconic figure both in Spain and beyond. The image captures a sense of solemnity and respect, with Denon gently placing each bone back into its rightful place within the ornate coffin. The skull rests nearby, serving as a reminder of the mortal nature that unites us all. This photograph not only pays homage to Denon's dedication but also highlights the significance of relics throughout history. It serves as a testament to our collective fascination with preserving fragments from the past, allowing us to connect with those who came before us. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of our shared humanity and how even in death, individuals like Le Cid continue to inspire awe and admiration for their courage and legacy.
