EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative lithograph by Claude Thiénon, titled "Ruins of the Commanding Post of the Order of Malta, Clisson," transports us back in time to the 19th century and the picturesque town of Clisson in the Loire Atlantique region of France. The image depicts the ruins of the Commanding Post of the Order of Malta, a historic fortification that once played a significant role in the defense of the town during the Middle Ages. The black and white composition captures the essence of the past, with its intricate details and textures. The ruins, now in a state of decay, stand proudly against the sky, their once imposing walls now crumbling and overgrown with vegetation. The figures of two men, one in military uniform and the other in a simple peasant outfit, add a sense of scale and human connection to the scene. The image is a depiction of the rich cultural heritage of France, with its historic buildings and the passage of time etched into their very being. The ruins of the Commanding Post of the Order of Malta serve as a reminder of the country's storied past, and the role that figures like Charles Philibert de Lasteyrie, Comte de Saillant, played in shaping its history. This work of art, created by Thiénon in 1817, is a must-see for anyone interested in history, art, or the beauty of France's historic sites. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
