EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical illustration by Jacques Marie Gaston Onfray de Breville, known as JOB. The artwork is taken from his renowned work "Les epees de France" and depicts the role of a Commissaire aux provisions de l armee contre l armee des rats (Commissioner of Provisions for the Army against the Rat Army). Intriguingly detailed, the engraving transports us to a night scene during an 18th-century military reconstitution. A French soldier stands guard in his nightgown, clutching a lantern while holding an imposing sword. He is surrounded by barrels and caskets filled with essential supplies, symbolizing his crucial duty to ensure food security for the army. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element of this composition. From the uprooted bag spilling grain on the ground to the rat scurrying away, each aspect adds depth and realism to this historic moment. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of both the challenges faced by soldiers throughout history and their resourcefulness in overcoming them. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, humanity has always found ways to adapt and protect itself. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate JOB's artistic talent while also immersing ourselves in a significant chapter of French military history.
