EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting "Ascension of the Poilu, 1922" by Georges Desvallieres takes viewers on a journey through time and emotion. This oil on canvas masterpiece, housed in the Musee National d'Art Moderne at Centre Pompidou in Paris, France, depicts a poignant scene from history. In this artwork, we witness an infantryman known as a poilu ascending to the heavens. Clad in his military uniform and armor, he carries a sword symbolizing strength and courage. The spirit of the soldier transcends death as he rides horseback towards the afterlife amidst exploding battlefields. Desvallieres skillfully captures both the physicality and spirituality of war. The mesh size of traditional armor emphasizes its protective qualities while also highlighting its limitations against modern weaponry. Surrounding him are other soldiers who have met their demise on the battlefield. Amidst this chaotic scene, horses gallop alongside racehorses and ponies—a reminder that animals too bear witness to human conflict. Their presence adds depth to this composition by showcasing not only wildlife but also our connection with them. This powerful image evokes contemplation about sacrifice, mortality, and the consequences of armed conflict. It serves as a haunting tribute to all those who have fought for their countries throughout history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork for future generations to appreciate its artistic brilliance and historical significance without commercial intentions or usage restrictions
