EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Optical illusions: vision of Napoleon's armies in the sky of Verviers, Belgium" transports us back to the historic Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The artist, unknown but hailing from the 19th century, skillfully captures a mesmerizing optical effect that leaves viewers astounded. In this image, we witness an otherworldly mirage appearing in the heavens above Verviers. The illusion depicts Napoleonic armies engaged in fierce combat amidst billowing clouds and ethereal light. It is as if time has folded upon itself, allowing us a glimpse into this pivotal moment in history. The scene evokes a sense of awe and wonder as we contemplate the impact of war on both individuals and entire populations. Amidst chaos and destruction, there is also beauty to be found – even if it exists solely within our perception. Giancarlo Costa expertly brings this historical phenomenon to life through his photography skills. His lens captures not only the physical manifestation of this optical illusion but also its emotional resonance. Through his artistry, he invites us to ponder questions about human nature, sacrifice, and the power of visual perception. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder's private collection, let us remember those who fought bravely on that fateful day at Waterloo while marveling at how history can manifest itself so vividly before our eyes.
