Painting 1: "The Lunatic of Etretat (1871)" by Hugues Merle

__________________
The woman’s face is a mask of suffering while she cradles, not a sleeping baby, but a wooden log! Is Merle’s “lunatic” mourning the loss of a child, or mad with longing for one? With no clear answer visible, we are left to ponder her fate. The figure’s anguish is a hallmark of Romanticism, a style that emphasized images of suffering, madness, and death. These images were often thinly veiled allusions to broader social suffering or political upheavals. For example, Merle painted The Lunatic in 1871, the same year that France lost the Franco-Prussian War. Could his dark image mirror the broader national mood of political loss and desolation

The first painting looks like a mother reaching out for help as her child is dying from starvation or sickness in her arms. The second is what she became after losing her baby, a lunatic, because no mother ever truly heals from that loss. And she's no longer reaching out for help because no one helped her when she asked, and now she's too far gone to be helped now anyways, now all there is in her heart is sadness and hatred for everyone else who abandoned her and her child.
Idk the actual context of these paintings at all, I'm a mother and from seeing this from that perspective, I see a mother in different phases of her life, only a year apart from each other. I also may be wrong, but the sadness and heartbreak in her eyes reminds me of how my own mother looked for a long time after we lost my youngest brother in an accident and almost nobody would help us, they just told her she needed to let him go.

She has her hand open in the first, like asking for help possibly and grasping her leg in the second because she is now past helping? Perhaps its about helping people when they need it, even though they might look ok, thats why there's tears in both paintings.

I think as a woman in that time period with a baby would be enough to drive many women mad. Think about their plight, powerless, diminished, treated like property in the eyes of the law and their actual selves being belittled and made insignificant. Listen to Swan Lake with an eye to such treatment of women and understand even being given wings, a woman is bound to earth and unhappiness by evil men that seek to control and twist them into what makes the men happy. No recourse or quarter given.

I think her baby died and the grief has made her go crazy.

I've watched this like 8 times ... the emotion, the detail everything... just wow.. it's heart breaking, but also the story both paintings are telling are beautiful in there pain.. get wat im trying to say , the artists precision, detail, the life like appeal of the woman, and the child. The way her hair flows in the wind to the dirt on her hands and grungy attire.. just wow.. this is wat art is supposed to do, to dig deep at our souls.

Losing a child to illness or starvation then she dies herself and both are reunited in heaven but she is giving her hand to those who are facing the same fate. She is showing hope with her open palm

Grief makes you crazy sometimes. Especially when losing someone so insanely important to you. Coping mechanisms can be helpful, even if just preventing it from gettworse. Even if it’s a log.

She lost her baby and went mad 😢 i think we all would to lose something we love

This reminds me of a story I heard of a woman who got pregnant out of wedlock. Her lover left at sea to provide for her but died without her knowing. She gave birth and was shunned horribly for it. Then the baby died, and because the assumption was she killed it, the same people who refused to lift a finger to help her flogged her 10 times and she was driven away from the town. She spent the rest of her days in complete madness over the loss of her child and what she had endured

Reminds me of the Log Lady from Twin Peaks

She lost her baby and she have PTSD

I work in mental health and also in age care where women have dementia, some women who have lost children carry dolls around thinking it's their real baby and they'll go bonkers if you try to take it away from them, It's really sad.

I'm sad with her🙏🙏🙏

My son is the baby in the painting age losing him, or anything happening to him would shatter me

This woman was no ordinary one. She is the chosen one to carry out what must be done for the greater good of man kind. Even if that means her whole leniage is sacrifice after sacfice to the point of madness. Now and at the hour of her death once more, may she live forever in peace, love, and happiness till death pays their respects and dues to her part. 💜💜💜🤘blest be, may peace be with you🙏 and also with

No pain worse.

The a ger in the eyes with the log shows that no one helped save her child and now she has no will to live 😢
|
She was asking for help for her baby with dignity, but no one did, the child died, no point in asking for help anymore, hand palm down, because she was doing it for the child not for herself, she doesn't care she lost what was more precious to her, and she enacts it in a log to accuse who missed helping: look at my child now, you killed them!

Please don’t make me think about what the bastards did to her. So cruel.
