EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the "Capture of the Smalah (Smala) of Abd el Kader" during the French conquest of Algeria. Painted by Joseph Louis Hippolyte Bellange, this artwork showcases the intense Battle of the Smala fought in 1843 between France and Algerian resistance fighters. The scene portrays the Duke of Aumale leading his troops to seize control over Taguin on May 16th, 1843. The sizeable painting measures 55x80 cm and is housed at Musee Conde in Chantilly, France. In this dramatic composition, Bellange masterfully depicts the chaos and tension that characterized this historical event. The viewer can almost feel the intensity as French soldiers clash with Algerian warriors led by Abd el Kader (also known as ibn Muhyi al-Din al-Hasani). The artist's attention to detail brings every element to life – from billowing smoke and charging horses to determined faces filled with both fear and determination. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of a significant chapter in Algeria's history – one marked by conflict, resistance, and colonialism. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as power dynamics, cultural clashes, and human resilience. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this historic piece through her lens for Fine Art Finder. Through her photography skills, she allows us to appreciate not only Bellange's artistic talent but also highlights its importance within our collective memory.
