Thesis print commissioned by the order of the Friars Minor of the city of Nancy.
The print visualises the points of the academic argument in the thesis defense
by their friars André de l’Auge et Etienne Didelot. The argument conveyed on
placards and banderoles defends the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin
Mary. Callot’s composition exceeds verbal imagery and prioritises the visual. As
such, it shows a triumphal procession with the crowned Virgin on a chariot and,
in the foreground, the Virgin crushing a demon, symbolising her triumph over
the devil and death. With allegorical representations of the Virgin’s virtues. 2nd
state (of 3) with the replacement of the word «Inuenerunt» by «Authores».
Ref. Lieure 562.2.
