EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of "The Departure of the Volunteers in 1792 or The Marseillaise" by François Rude. Created between 1833 and 1836, this stone relief is located on the iconic Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France. In this particular section of the artwork, we witness the artist's mastery in depicting a powerful moment from the French Revolution. A group of passionate peasants, driven by their patriotic fervor, prepares to depart for battle. Their resolute expressions and determined postures reflect their unwavering commitment to fight for liberty and equality. At the center stands an awe-inspiring figure representing the Goddess of War herself. With her flowing robes billowing behind her and a fierce expression on her face, she symbolizes both strength and courage as she leads these brave volunteers into battle. François Rude's romanticist style shines through every intricately carved detail of this bas-relief masterpiece. The dynamic composition evokes a sense of movement and urgency, capturing the spirit of revolution that swept across France during this tumultuous period. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph taken by Peter Willi, we are transported back in time to witness history unfolding before our eyes. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of the sacrifices made during times of upheaval but also celebrates humanity's unyielding spirit when faced with adversity.
