About the Item
The Contemplative Silence: Chartreux Monk in Reverie, Plate 46, 1862
This evocative hand-colored lithograph, 'The Contemplative Silence: Chartreux Monk in Reverie,' Plate 46 from *Album ou Collection Complète, et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome,* beautifully captures the quiet dignity of a Carthusian monk. Cloaked in the order's traditional white habit, the monk stands with arms crossed, immersed in thoughtful reflection. The setting—a secluded garden bench surrounded by lush greenery—emphasizes the solitude and introspection central to Carthusian spirituality.
The figure’s tranquil expression and posture reflect the contemplative life pursued by the Carthusians, an order founded in 1084 by Saint Bruno of Cologne. The soft, muted tones of the robe, combined with the naturalistic background, underscore the ascetic simplicity and closeness to nature that defines the Carthusian lifestyle.
Historical Context:
The Carthusians, known as the Order of St. Bruno, are one of the most austere monastic orders within the Catholic Church. Dedicated to a life of prayer, silence, and manual labor, the order emphasizes solitude and a deep personal relationship with God. Unlike other monastic communities, Carthusian monks often live in near-complete isolation, coming together only for communal prayers and certain meals.
Provenance:
Printed by Lith. A. Lemaître, Paris, this lithograph is part of a comprehensive series showcasing the ecclesiastical costumes of the Vatican. Created by G. Perugini, the collection provides a rare glimpse into the varied roles and traditions of the Church's clergy during the 19th century. This particular plate highlights the spiritual depth and simplicity of the Carthusian vocation, making it a compelling piece for collectors of religious and historical art.
