EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Scenes of Paris: Blind Men from the Quinze Vingts, Walking" by Jean Henri Marlet, takes us on a journey through the bustling streets of Paris in the 18th century. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings this scene to life, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere. In this print, we see a group of blind men from the Quinze Vingts institution confidently navigating their way through the city streets. Despite their visual impairment, they exude an air of determination and resilience as they rely on their other senses to guide them forward. Marlet's use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to each figure, highlighting their individuality within a larger collective. The composition is carefully balanced with architectural elements framing the scene while also providing context for these visually impaired individuals' daily lives. Through this artwork, Marlet not only captures a moment in time but also sheds light on societal attitudes towards disability during that era. By portraying these blind men as active participants in society rather than mere bystanders or objects of pity, he challenges conventional perceptions and invites viewers to reconsider their own preconceived notions. As we gaze upon this lithograph from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time and reminded that strength can be found even amidst adversity. It serves as a poignant reminder that every individual has unique abilities that should be celebrated rather than overshadowed by limitations.
