EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "French soldiers on manoeuvres being struck by lightning" depicts a dramatic moment frozen in time. The colour lithograph, created by the French School in the 20th century, showcases a powerful scene that leaves viewers awestruck. In this artwork, we witness a group of French soldiers engaged in training exercises when disaster strikes. A bolt of lightning descends from the darkened sky and violently strikes down upon them. The intensity of the moment is palpable as horses rear up in fear and chaos ensues among the troops. The image serves as a chilling reminder of the dangers faced by those who serve their country. It captures both the bravery and vulnerability of these soldiers as they navigate through treacherous weather conditions during their military drills. Beyond its artistic value, this print also offers insights into meteorology and scientific methods employed to understand climate patterns. It highlights how even armed forces must contend with nature's unpredictable forces while carrying out their duties. As we gaze upon this striking composition, our thoughts are drawn to questions about mortality and fate. We contemplate the fragility of life amidst such perilous circumstances and reflect on how these brave individuals risked everything for their nation's cause. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images invites us to ponder not only historical events but also broader themes surrounding human resilience, sacrifice, and our eternal struggle against nature's might.
