EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture "Wallenrod (stone)" by Emile-Antoine Bourdelle. Located in the Musee Bourdelle in Paris, France, this masterpiece pays homage to Konrad Wallenrod, a fictional hero from Adam Mickiewicz's renowned poem written during Poland's struggle against Russian rulers. The maquette for panels of the monument to Mickiewicz erected in 1929 at Cours Albert Ier near Place de l'Alma, this artwork holds great significance in Polish national consciousness. The concept of Wallenrodism became deeply ingrained within Polish culture as it symbolizes resistance and patriotism. Intricately carved with meticulous detail, the bas relief depicts a warrior holding a sword high above his head. This powerful image represents bravery and strength while serving as a commemorative tribute to Mickiewicz himself - a celebrated poet, writer, and patriot. Capturing both historical context and artistic brilliance, this print transports viewers into an era where literature merged with political struggles. It invites contemplation on the enduring power of art to inspire collective memory and ignite national pride. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece through your own eyes or display it proudly on your wall, let its presence remind you of the indomitable spirit that resides within us all – one that can withstand adversity and fight for what we hold dear.
