Visit of a Clergyman to Bastide, Sausion, and Collard 1820 - 1830

This 19th-century lithograph by Sébastien Coeuré depicts a scene of a clergyman visiting three men imprisoned in a jail cell. Created between 1820 and 1830, the artwork captures the somber mood of the scene with its detailed rendering of the figures and the stark environment. The piece, titled "Visit of a Clergyman to Bastide, Sausion, and Collard," highlights the social and political realities of the time, and is a poignant reminder of the power of faith and compassion in challenging circumstances. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the lithograph offers a glimpse into the lives of those imprisoned and the role of religious figures in offering comfort and solace.
