EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a stunning print of "The Burghers of Calais" by the renowned sculptor Auguste Rodin. The sculpture, created in 1889, depicts six brave men from the French town of Calais who volunteered to sacrifice themselves during the Hundred Years' War. In this particular shot, we are drawn to one burgher's face, his expression etched with profound suffering and determination. His beard adds an air of wisdom and maturity to his countenance, emphasizing the gravity of their selfless act. Rodin's mastery is evident in every detail captured here; the texture and depth he achieves in plaster is truly remarkable. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of human resilience and sacrifice throughout history. Displayed at Musee Rodin in Meudon, France, this print invites us into a moment frozen in time - a moment that encapsulates both individual strength and collective courage. It transports us back to 19th-century Europe when art was used not only for aesthetic pleasure but also as a means to convey deep emotions and provoke contemplation. As we gaze upon this striking image, let us reflect on our own capacity for bravery and empathy. May it inspire us to stand up for what we believe in, just as these burghers did so many years ago.
