DE CATTIER.AMEDEE CHARPENTIER D'APRES COMPTE-CALIX.'Denis-Auguste Affre (1793-1848) was a French clergyman who served as Archbishop of Paris from 1840 to 1848. He was killed while trying to negotiate peace during the June Days uprising of 1848. Plate 1: Archbishop Affre is seen ascending a grand stairway, addressing General Cavaignac amid a gathering of politicians, officers, and common people. Several figures hold tricolour flags. The moment precedes Affre's fateful intervention at the barricades during the June Days uprising. Plate 2: Archbishop Affre stands atop a barricade, arms raised, speaking to a crowd of armed workers and wounded insurgents, while soldiers look on. He is accompanied by a man holding a branch of peace. Behind, smoke rises as fighting continues in the background. Plate 3: Archbishop Affre is shown receiving the last rites in a domestic room. A priest holds a ciborium while several clergy and lay figures kneel or watch in grief. Blood-stained linens lie nearby, and the setting is deeply intimate, with emotional figures and religious decor. Plate 4: Archbishop Affre lies on his deathbed surrounded by mourning clergy and civilians. Several kneel in prayer; others stand solemnly. A crucifix hangs above the bed, and a priest gestures skyward while offering final rites. A scene of reverent grief and martyrdom.Made by Amedee Charpentier (lithographer), Cattier (printer) after Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix.Medium: Crayon style lithograph with hand colouring on wove (vellin) paper.Sheet size: 64.3 x 49.4 cm (25.31 x 19.45 inch).
