EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Camilla, a study for The Oath of the Horatii, created by Jacques Louis David in 1785. In this pencil on paper artwork, we see Camilla portrayed as a female figure seated with an air of sorrow and mourning. Dressed in Roman attire, she exudes a sense of vulnerability and emotional turmoil. Camilla is depicted as the sister of the Horatii brothers and betrothed to one of the Curiatii. The squared paper visible in the image suggests that this sketch was intended for transfer onto a larger canvas or mural. This technique, known as mise au carreau, allowed artists like David to accurately scale their compositions. The subject matter revolves around an intense dispute between Rome and Alba Longa, represented by the Curiaces. As we gaze at this neoclassical masterpiece through time's lens, we can't help but be drawn into Camilla's world—a world filled with sacrifice, duty, and heart-wrenching choices. This print from Musee Bonnat in Bayonne transports us back to an era where art served not only as aesthetic pleasure but also as a medium for storytelling. Through its intricate details and skillful execution, it reminds us why Jacques Louis David remains one of history's most celebrated painters.
