EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "A Patriotic Episode: The Six Burghers of Calais Leaving the Town" captures a significant moment in history. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this print showcases Rodin's sculpture depicting an incident from the Hundred Years War. Intriguingly, this artwork was published as an illustration for Le Petit Parisien on June 2,1895. The monumental sculpture itself was installed in Calais to commemorate the bravery and sacrifice of six burghers during the war. As they leave their town through its gates, their courage shines through, symbolizing patriotism at its finest. The image has been digitally cleaned to preserve its historical significance and allow viewers to appreciate every detail. It transports us back to medieval France, specifically the late 14th century when these events unfolded. This print not only highlights a crucial period but also emphasizes themes such as bravery and sacrifice that resonate throughout history. It serves as a reminder of how individuals can come together for a greater cause and inspire others with their acts of valor. With its rich cultural heritage and ties to European history, this artwork encapsulates both national pride and unity within Europe. Its presence evokes admiration for those who fought during tumultuous times while encouraging future generations to embrace similar values of courage and resilience.
