EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "He no longer sleeps!" captures the torment of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany during the First World War. The vivid color lithograph, created by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, showcases a powerful scene that speaks volumes about the consequences of war. In this image, we witness a troubled night in the bedroom of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Surrounded by women - wives and mothers who have lost their loved ones to the horrors of war - he is unable to find solace in sleep. Their accusing gazes and sorrowful expressions haunt him relentlessly, as if blaming him for their unbearable loss. Propaganda elements are evident throughout this artwork, emphasizing both guilt and responsibility. The bereaved widows and grieving mothers represent countless others who suffered due to his decisions as emperor. This piece serves as a poignant reminder of the immense human cost inflicted by conflict. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element within the room contributes to its narrative power. From the grand bed with its luxurious furnishings to Wilhelm's anguished expression, each aspect adds depth and emotion to this thought-provoking composition. "He no longer sleeps!" encapsulates not only one man's sleepless nights but also echoes a collective suffering experienced during World War I. It serves as a visual testament to remind us all about the devastating consequences that wars impose on individuals and societies alike.
