EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Ferdinand Sigismund Bac depicts the harrowing scene of emigration during the French Revolution in the 18th century. Created between c1880-1950, this print transports us back to a time of great turmoil and uncertainty. In this vivid artwork, we see a group of fearful and frightened individuals waiting inside a bay window overlooking the bustling harbor front. The women are dressed in colorful robes and hats, their expressions filled with alarm and rebellion. Meanwhile, men stand nearby, their faces etched with worry as they clutch onto their luggage. The artist skillfully captures the atmosphere of anticipation and trepidation that permeates throughout this scene. The panoramic view showcases ships dotting the water transport below, symbolizing both hope for escape and fear of what lies ahead. Bac's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this lithograph - from the intricate clothing worn by each figure to the architectural elements surrounding them. Through his masterful use of color and composition, he invites viewers to immerse themselves in this historical moment. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but feel a sense of empathy for these brave souls who embarked on a journey into an uncertain future. It serves as a poignant reminder of how political upheaval can uproot lives and force individuals to seek refuge far from home.
