The Reality of War, Carting away the Living and the Dead inside Plevna
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful engraving by French artist Durand Godefroy that depicts the harsh realities of war during the Russo-Turkish conflict in the late 19th century. The scene captures a street in Plevna, Bulgaria, where both the living and dead are being transported amidst the chaos of battle. The image portrays a somber atmosphere as soldiers and civilians work together to cart away those affected by war. The artist's attention to detail allows us to witness firsthand the devastation caused by armed conflict. The bodies of fallen soldiers lie motionless on stretchers while survivors struggle with their heavy burden. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, highlighting not only its physical destruction but also its emotional toll on individuals and communities. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as loss, sacrifice, and resilience in times of adversity. Durand Godefroy's skillful execution brings this historical moment to life, capturing raw emotions through his masterful use of light and shadow. Through this engraving, he sheds light on an often overlooked aspect of warfare – that behind every statistic or casualty count lies real people with families, dreams, and hopes for a better future. "The Reality of War" stands as a testament to Godefroy's artistic talent and his commitment to portraying truth through art. It serves as an important historical document that reminds us never to forget the human suffering caused by conflicts throughout
