Capture of the Molle Bridge, 1854
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph in black on gray, chine laid down on ivory wove paper, created by the renowned French artist Denis Auguste Marie Raffet (1804-1865). This masterpiece, a testament to the 19th century's artistic and historical significance, depicts the momentous event of the capture of the Molle Bridge by the French army during the Italian War. The scene unfolds along the picturesque Tiber River, where the Molle Bridge, a vital Roman structure, spans the estuary. The bridge, a symbol of the Roman Empire's engineering prowess, is shown in ruins, with soldiers from the French army proudly standing atop its remains. The panoramic view of the riverbank, dotted with men and military equipment, adds to the sense of scale and importance of the event. Raffet masterfully employs the techniques of lithotint and lithography to create a striking contrast between the black figures of the soldiers and the gray, textured background. The image, with its letterbox format, evokes a sense of history and heritage, transporting the viewer back in time to witness this pivotal moment in the Italian War. This evocative print, with its rich historical context and artistic merit, is a must-have for any art enthusiast, museum, or gallery. It is a testament to Raffet's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in history, making it a valuable addition to any collection. Whether admired for its artistic beauty or historical significance, "Capture of the Molle Bridge, 1854" is a timeless piece that continues to captivate and inspire.
