Exorcism - Arab musicians chasing jinn from the body of a child
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a powerful moment frozen in time, depicting an intense scene of exorcism. Painted by Andre Brouillet in 1884, this oil on canvas artwork showcases the artist's incredible talent and attention to detail. In this mesmerizing image, we witness a group of Arab musicians fervently playing their instruments as they chase away malevolent spirits known as jinn from the body of a possessed child. The child's face is contorted with pain and fear, while his mother watches anxiously nearby. The musicians' music fills the air with haunting melodies that seem to echo through our souls. Brouillet masterfully portrays not only the supernatural elements but also the cultural context surrounding this ritualistic practice. The musicians wear traditional turbans and oriental attire, immersing us in an atmosphere rich with Arabian mysticism. Their musical instruments - drums, lutes, flutes, and tambourines - create an orchestra of sound that serves as both protection and salvation for the afflicted child. This painting delves into themes such as superstition, faith, family bonds, and human vulnerability. It reminds us of humanity's enduring belief in unseen forces and our relentless pursuit to protect those we love from harm. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art captured by Leonard de Selva's lens, let us reflect on our own beliefs about good versus evil and how far we would go to
