About the Item
Moine Déchaussé - 1862 Hand-Colored Lithograph of a Discalced Monk
This 1862 hand-colored lithograph features a Moine Déchaussé, or Discalced Monk, embodying humility and simplicity. The figure is depicted in a plain brown robe, the signature attire of various mendicant orders that emphasize poverty and asceticism. The monk’s unassuming sandals and downcast gaze reflect a life of meditation, prayer, and service.
The term "discalced" means without shoes and signifies the monk's vow of poverty and detachment from material goods. Discalced monks belong to reformed branches of monastic orders, including the Carmelites, Franciscans, and Augustinians, which originated during the Counter-Reformation (16th–17th centuries). These communities still exist today, with members in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Their lives focus on solitude, devotion, and a mission to guide others spiritually.
This lithograph, part of the Album ou Collection Complète et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome, was created by G. Perugini with text contributions from Père Hélyot. It offers historical insight into the monastic traditions of the Catholic Church while preserving their visual culture through remarkable artistry. This piece is ideal for collectors of religious art, antique prints, or those interested in monastic history.
Translation of Introduction Text
A powerful interest is attached to the name of Rome, an even more profound interest to the name of Christ. Rome, through its genius, the vast intelligence of its warriors, orators, and legislators, prepared the cradle where Catholicism would be born, grow, develop, and establish itself. The history of Catholicism is the history of this great and glorious city above all others.
Virgil, in a truly prophetic verse, said: "Tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento." This prophecy has seen the most noble, illustrious, and glorious developments, all conspiring for the eternal city's glory: its history, arts, monuments, and the religion at its core. Yet no other city offers such a collection, from the monuments of Augustus to those of Sixtus V and Leo XII, from pagan temples to saints' tombs and martyrs' shrines. This union of grandeur is further illustrated daily by the magnificence of Catholic rites.
With this album, we present the splendid costumes of the Papal dignitaries and the humble attire of religious orders. These costumes were inspired by the traditions handed down through centuries and were designed with unique precision by the talented artist G. Perugini.
