EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment during the First World War, offering a unique perspective on German censorship as seen through the propaganda eye of the French. Titled "He looks bad" it portrays Guillaume II of Germany, his hopes of victory shattered and his carefully constructed plans in ruins. The engraving, featured in "Le Petite Journal" on March 14th, 1915, sheds light on the hidden truths that journalists were forbidden to reveal. In this image, we witness the defeated German leader traversing battlefields with an expression that speaks volumes. His countenance reveals not only physical exhaustion but also the weight of failure and deception. Despite attempts to conceal these realities from public knowledge, this powerful portrayal exposes them for all to see. The anonymous artist behind this piece skillfully captures the essence of Guillaume II's despair and downfall. Through intricate details and masterful strokes, they convey a sense of vulnerability rarely associated with such prominent figures. Preserved within a private collection today, this historic print serves as a reminder of how art can transcend boundaries and expose hidden narratives. It invites viewers to reflect upon the consequences of war and question those who manipulate truth for personal gain. Stefano Bianchetti's restoration work ensures that future generations can appreciate both the artistic merit and historical significance contained within this remarkable depiction from Fine Art Finder's extensive archives.
