The Carmelites of Compiègne facing the guillotine. Illustration taken from Louis David, O.S.B., 1906.

COMMENTARY: The wrongly imprisoned, like Cardinal George Pell, the Carmelite martyrs and Jimmy Lai, use the arts to raise their hearts to God, offering a certain interior freedom, even contact with the transcendent.
