EDITORS COMMENTS
Departure of the Third Column, called the Support, from Souvenirs d'Italie: Expedition de Rome, 1859" is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Auguste Raffet, depicting a significant moment during the Italian Wars of 1859. The image captures the departure of the third column, known as the 'support,' from Rome as part of the French Expedition. Raffet masterfully employs the medium of lithography in black on warm ivory wove chine laid down on off white wove paper to create an evocative and dynamic scene. The composition is rich in historical detail, with the third column, composed of men in military uniforms, forming a disciplined line as they prepare to embark on their journey. The air is filled with a sense of anticipation and purpose, as the soldiers exchange determined glances and adjust their equipment. In the background, the walls of Rome and other Italian cities can be seen, their once grand facades now marred by the destruction of war. Black smoke rises from the distance, a stark reminder of the devastation that has preceded this moment. The soldiers, however, remain focused on their mission, their resolve unwavering as they march forward. The lithograph is a poignant representation of the human experience during times of conflict, showcasing the bravery and determination of the soldiers as they leave their loved ones behind and embark on a dangerous journey. The image is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve historical moments, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the Italian Wars of 1859. Auguste Raffet's "Departure of the Third Column, called the Support, from Souvenirs d'Italie: Expedition de Rome, 1859" is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the complexities of human history.
