Abstract
Félix Périn’s Wall Paintings in Ansae : A Late Testimony of the Nazarene Movement. In the last decades of the nineteenth century, the Nazarene movement knew a late revival in the mural decorations of two churches in Ansac-sur-Vienne made by Félix Périn (1835-1891). Working in the spirit of Alphonse Périn, his father, and Victor Orsel, he developed a complex use of symbols and allegories in order to praise Church and to denounce rising dechristianization in his times. Marian and patriotic themes are emphasized with learned abstraction, according to a vow, hoping Prussian war and Commune riots end in 1870-181.
