EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Deserting German Army horses" by Eugene Damblans depicts a dramatic scene from the late 19th century. In this color lithograph, we witness a group of German army horses fleeing across the frontier into France, desperately escaping their military duties. The image captures the intensity and chaos of the moment as these animals race towards freedom. The artist's skillful rendering brings to life the pursuit that follows, with French soldiers hot on their heels. This illustration originally appeared in Le Petit Journal on October 1st, 1899, showcasing an event that undoubtedly captured public attention during that time. The historical significance of this artwork lies in its portrayal of border tensions between Germany and France in Europe at the turn of the century. It serves as a reminder of how conflicts can impact not only human lives but also innocent creatures caught in the crossfire. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are reminded of both the bravery and vulnerability displayed by these deserting horses. Their determination to escape echoes themes such as freedom and survival amidst war-torn landscapes. This thought-provoking print is part of a private collection and is made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. Its vivid colors and detailed composition make it an excellent addition for art enthusiasts seeking pieces with historical depth and emotional resonance.
