1846in-4 (mm 194x125), pp.4. Carta vergellata. La prima pagina comprende la sentenza di morte proclamata in seguito alla tentata grassazione a danno di Teresa Santi vedova Donò con barbaro omicidio di Martino Ferello, suo servo, la sera dell'11 febbraio 1846, contro Boglietti Michele, di anni 27, di Bussolino di Gassino, oste; Fossati Giovanni Battista, di anni 30, di Racconigi, scalpellino; Fossati Pietro, 23 anni, di Fini di Pinerolo, scalpellino; Capriolo Giacomo, 27 anni, di Sommariva Perno, calzolaio e portinaio; Basano Andrea, di 31 anni, di Baldissero d'Alba, lisciatore di marmi; Gallo Giovanni Battista, di 38 anni, di S. Benedetto, contadino; Masante Antonia, di 30 anni, nata a Farigliano, indotata e moglie del Gallo. Nelle pagine seguenti la descrizione del malfatto e dell'omicidio: i cinque malviventi riescono a farsi aprire la porta in quanto due di loro travestiti da carabinieri, ma vengono subito smascherati dal servitore, che viene quindi ucciso crivellato da venticinque ferite inferte con due diversi coltelli. Il fatto avviene nella collina torinese, in Val Pattonera, presso la vigna di una villa. Pietro Fossati e Michele Boglietti sono condannati alla pena di morte. Michele Boglietti viene impiccato il giorno 16 giugno 1846 a Torino, con l'assistenza di San Giuseppe Cafasso e della Arciconfraternita della Misericordia di Torino. A differenza di molti altri condannati del periodo precedente al 1848, Michele Boglietti viene più volte ricordato dalla stampa, da svariate pubblicazioni agiografiche e dalla letteratura popolare. Il conte progressista Battista Giovanni Michelini gli dedica un articolo nel fascicolo del 15 agosto 1846 della rivista Letture di Famiglia, pubblicata da Lorenzo Valerio. Michele Boglietti è poi ricordato nelle biografie da San Giuseppe Cafasso, sia in quelle antiche che in quelle moderne, come quella di Aldo Cazzullo (I torinesi da Cavour a oggi, Roma 2002).

2018brossura Più che elogio del suicidio, elogio della libertà di scelta, anche di quella più estrema. Oggi nel mondo ogni 40 secondi una persona commette suicidio: circa un milione di morti all'anno. La maggior parte di queste persone è costretta da una società ipocrita a ricorrere a metodi incerti e strazianti, perché quelli per ottenere una morte rapida e indolore non sono messi a disposizione di tutti, ma tenuti nascosti e resi illegali. La società si fregia della propria mancanza di compassione negando a chi non vuole più vivere il diritto di scegliere una morte più dolce, in nome di un rispetto della vita che si traduce in sopraffazione del più debole. Non si preoccupa di quelle vite, e ben poco può per prevenire quelle morti, si preoccupa solo di rendere inaccessibili tutti i mezzi in grado di garantire un trapasso certo e sereno, rendendo le sofferenze di chi si uccide un trofeo alla propria ipocrisia. Forse è giunta l'ora di infrangere il tabù del suicidio e di accoglierlo come uno dei tanti fatti della vita.

"Les épreuves de ce premier état tirées 'à fleur de métal' sont d'une remarquable qualité Elles sont toutes signées de l'artiste."Delteil "The title of the series of prints Elle refers to Death La Mort. The series is considered one of Albert Besnard's most significant works in printmaking and depicts the omnipresence of death among the living. In this series Death is shown in several scenes in the disguise of the mistress of the household of a courtesan or of a lover. Death appears in all aspects of daily life striking when one least expects it on the path of a horse rider or as a couple embraces in a garden. One scene is particularly cruel as Death stands in front of a mother with two young children on her lap and the title of the print elucidates what is at stake: Lequel Which One. In Après sa visite After the Visit a man and a woman hide their faces in despair. On the other hand in L'Importune Importunate a doctor by a patient's bedside pushes her away. In Danger passé Danger Passed a horse rider continues on unscathed. Other prints demonstrate the benevolence of Death who can bring relief. In one scene Death brings together a couple under her cloak. "In 1900 the French banker collector and patron Baron Joseph Vitta 1860-1940 commissioned the series Elle from Besnard. The series was to include 50 plates of which only 26 were editioned. A 27th plate titled L'homme suivant la Mort was realized but destroyed after only two proofs were pulled. Vitta controlled the preliminary drawings the plates and the printed impressions and limited the size of the edition. The first printing of the series comprised only nine proofs of each plate. A second state of the series with the addition of Besnard's monogram was printed in nineteen impressions in 1921. An additional set of impressions of the 1921 issue was offered to the printer of the series Auguste Vernant. The plates were then cancelled impressions of the cancelled plates are at the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris. "Born in Paris Albert Besnard entered the École des Beaux-Arts in 1866. He exhibited at the Salon of 1868 and won the Prix de Rome in 1874. While in Rome he met Charlotte Dubray 1854-1931 the daughter of the sculptor Vital Dubray 1813-1892 and a sculptor herself who benefited from the sponsorship of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland to study sculpture in Rome. After their marriage in 1879 the couple moved to London. There Dubray had numerous contacts and Besnard received numerous commissions as a portrait painter. He also studied printmaking with Alphonse Legros. Their four children three sons and a daughter became artists. Besnard was the director of the Académie de France in Rome from 1913-1921 and the director of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1922 to 1932. He became the first painter to be given a state funeral in France."Getty "With Elle Besnard resurrected and modernized the ancient dance of death adapting its imagery to current tastes while retaining the themes of the power of death and the equality of all before it. Death portrayed by Besnard the eponymous 'She' of the title is an omnipresent force that circulates among the members of modern society. Lurking in the bushes and gutters she occasionally takes on the features of a prostitute or a lover. She is a tenacious and patient adversary usually triumphing over her prey through trickery or duplicity. She is everywhere at once; she strikes arbitrarily and mercilessly. "Besnard's images illustrate only a few of the countless occasions when Death manifests itself. Many scenes are imbued with black humor the effect of surprise and macabre turns of events. Some are poignant others terrifying. All remind us that death plays a very real and very active role in every aspect of our lives."Musée des Beaux-Arts du Canada www.beaux-arts.ca Besnard himself established the order of the prints: Exigeante D. 131; Dans la Foule D. 132; L'Accident D. 133; L'Obstacle D. 134; Danger Passé D. 135; L'Inconnue D. 136; Importune D. 137; L'Enigme D. 138; Le Mystère D. 139; Après sa Visite D. 140; Ponctuelle D. 141; Aux Aguets D. 142; Le Coup de Filet D. 143; Musicienne D. 144; Le Vertige D. 145; Lequel D. 146; La Possession D. 147; Discrète D. 148; Le Duel D. 149; la Présentation D. 150; L'Orgie D. 151; Charitable D. 152; Coquette D. 153; L'Avertissement D. 154; Elle consacre l'Amour D. 155; Indifférente D. 156.
