EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time when the ex-voto women, possibly dressed in traditional Breton costumes, gather in front of an ex-voto painting. The artwork, created by Alphonse Legros in 1860, measures 1.74x1.97 meters and is housed at the Museum of Fine Arts in Dijon. The image showcases a group of women adorned with intricate mourning attire and distinctive hats, which are characteristic of their cultural heritage. Holding candles and clasping their hands together in prayer, these women engage in a ritualistic gathering that speaks to the deep-rooted customs and traditions they hold dear. Legros' painting skillfully portrays this poignant scene with meticulous attention to detail. Each brushstroke brings life to the somber atmosphere as these widows pay homage to their loved ones through this act of devotion. The photo itself was taken by ePhoto Josse and falls under French copyright laws as it is out of copyright status. It offers viewers a glimpse into this historical moment captured forever on film. As we observe this snapshot from history, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within art but also how it can serve as a powerful medium for preserving cultural practices and honoring those who came before us.
