EDITORS COMMENTS
Marseillaise" a l'opera-comique, 1914" is a powerful and evocative lithograph by the French artist Georges Bertin Scott, created in the midst of the First World War in 1914. The image captures a poignant moment of resilience and defiance in the face of war, as civilians gather in the Opera-Comique in Paris to hear a performance of the national anthem, "La Marseillaise." In the foreground, a soldier in uniform stands tall, holding his sword aloft and gazing out at the crowd. He wears a cloak draped over his shoulders, the fabric billowing in the wind. Behind him, other soldiers, some with swords, some without, stand at attention. The women in the audience, dressed in fashionable turn-of-the-century clothing, watch the soldier intently, their faces a mix of determination and emotion. The allegorical figure of "La Guerre de Tranchees" (The Trench War) looms in the background, her sword raised and her cloak billowing behind her. She represents the relentless and destructive force of war, but also the determination of the French people to fight back. The title of the print, "La Vie Reprend" (Life Resumes), suggests that even in the midst of war, there are moments of hope and normalcy. The image is a testament to the enduring power of art and music to inspire and uplift, even in the darkest of times. It is a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike during the First World War, and the resilience and determination of the French people in the face of adversity. The black and white composition adds to the sense of timelessness and historical significance, making this a powerful and enduring image of the First World War era.
