EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical event from the 13th century - "The excommunication of Bouchard d Avesnes on 19 January 1235 by Pope Innocent III". In this powerful image, we witness the consequences faced by Bouchard for his decision to marry Marguerite, Countess of Flanders and Hainaut, despite being a priest. The scene is brought to life through an advertising chromolithography of Antoine chocolates in Brussels at the beginning of the 20th century. The artist's skillful use of color and detail transports us back to this pivotal moment in history. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the complexities within Christian society during that time. The excommunication serves as a reminder that even those in positions of religious authority were not exempt from facing punishment for their actions. Through this artwork, we gain insight into themes such as faith, power dynamics within Christendom, and the consequences one must face when challenging societal norms. It invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and values while appreciating the rich history behind it. This print is part of a private collection by an anonymous collector who has graciously shared it with us. Its inclusion in Stefano Bianchetti's portfolio ensures its preservation and accessibility for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
