EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative oil painting by Nicolas Raguenet, titled 'Carthusian Enclosure, rue d'Enfer, between 1715 and 1793,' transports us back in time to the 18th century in Paris, France. The scene unfolds in the 6th arrondissement, specifically at the Carthusian Monastery located on the rue d'Enfer, near the Hotel National des Invalides. The painting captures the serene beauty of the Carthusian enclosure, with its lush, verdant garden and the imposing, stone walls of the monastery. The monastery, also known as the Chartreux Monastery, was a significant Catholic institution in Paris, housing a community of Carthusian monks dedicated to the Roman Catholic faith. In the foreground, we see a group of men and women, dressed in the fashion of the time, taking a leisurely stroll through the garden. They appear to be enjoying the peaceful surroundings, with one man admiring the flowers and another engaging in conversation with a woman. The presence of these figures adds a sense of life and activity to the otherwise tranquil scene. The sky above is filled with billowing clouds, adding a sense of movement and dynamism to the painting. The colors are rich and vibrant, with the greens of the garden contrasting beautifully with the browns and grays of the monastery walls. This painting is a testament to the beauty and significance of the Carthusian Monastery in 18th century Paris, and serves as a reminder of the cultural and religious heritage of France during this period. Today, the painting is on display at the Musee Carnavalet in Paris, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
