Summary/Abstract: On the walls of the Musée Anne-de-Beaujeu in Moulins, a small town in the Auvergne, hangs a striking painting. It’s called La Vérité or, more descriptively, ‘La Vérité sortant du puits armée de son martinet pour châtier l’humanité’—‘Truth emerging from the well armed with her whip to chastise mankind.’ Truth, in the painting, is naked; rendered almost photographically; and if her eyes and mouth, fixed in a barking rebuke, are anything to go by, she is angry. Very angry.
