Battery no.14
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by Denis Auguste Marie Raffet, created in 1859 as part of his "Souvenirs d'Italie: Expedition de Rome" series. This evocative image, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, transports us back to the 19th century and the Italian Wars. Raffet masterfully captures the raw power and intensity of warfare in this black and white lithograph. The focus is on Battery no.14, a formidable defensive installation manned by a group of determined soldiers. The cannons, positioned menacingly on the walls, are ready for action, their barrels pointed ominously towards the horizon. The soldiers, dressed in military uniforms, stand at attention, their faces etched with concentration and resolve. The scene is set against a backdrop of smoke-filled skies, the result of previous battles. The panoramic view of the battery, with its strategic location on a hill, underscores the importance of such fortifications during wartime. The use of chine collé, a printing technique that adds texture and depth, enhances the overall impact of the image. This powerful and evocative work of art offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of war and conflict. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and the importance of defense and military strategy. With its striking composition and intricate details, "Battery no.14" is a must-see for anyone interested in military history, art, or the 19th century.
