Gloria Victoribus,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Glory to the Victorious," is a captivating photograph showcasing a maquette, or model, of the last work of renowned French sculptor Antonin Mercie (1845-1916). Known for his neoclassical and allegorical figures, Mercie is best known for his sculpture "Gloria Victis," which translates to "Glory to the Vanquished." This photograph, taken from the "Collection de la Guerre IV" and published in "L'Illustration" in the 1910s, offers a rare glimpse into the creative process of one of France's most celebrated artists. The model, titled "Gloria Victoribus," depicts a winged figure, both male and female, standing victorious with a blade in hand. The figure, draped in flowing robes, represents the triumph of heroism and the glory of war. The neoclassical influence is evident in the figure's muscular form and the use of allegorical elements, such as the dagger and the wings. Mercie's mastery of the sculptural form is evident in the intricate details of the maquette, from the delicate folds of the fabric to the finely crafted blade. The photograph, taken in a studio setting, captures the essence of the sculpture, allowing viewers to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating this powerful and evocative work. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of art and the creative spirit, offering a glimpse into the world of a master sculptor and the process of bringing his vision to life. Whether viewed as a work of art in its own right or as a window into the past, "Gloria Victoribus" is a captivating and thought-provoking image that continues to inspire and intrigue.
