EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the solemn and poignant moment of the "Procession of St. Charles Borromeo to cure Milan of the plague in 1576". The image showcases a group of individuals, led by Archbishop Saint Charles Borromeo, as they walk barefoot through the streets of Milan, praying fervently for an end to the devastating epidemic. The scene is filled with raw emotion and despair, as countless victims suffering from this contagious disease are depicted in various states of illness. The relief on their faces is palpable, reflecting their hope that this procession will bring them relief from their suffering. Amidst this sea of pain and anguish, Archbishop Borromeo stands tall, holding a crucifix high above his head. His presence exudes strength and determination as he blesses those around him with unwavering faith. The composition beautifully captures the architectural beauty surrounding them - a reminder that even during times of great hardship, art can provide solace and inspiration. The marble sculptures adorning the Chapelle Royale at Chateau de Versailles serve as a backdrop to this historic event. This photograph serves as a haunting reminder not only of past pandemics but also our collective resilience in times of crisis. It reminds us that even amidst darkness, there is always room for hope and healing.
