EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "L'Exposition des oeuvres d'art mutilees ou provenant des regions devastees; Tete et fragments du Saint Tarcisius, de Falguiere (chateau de Gerbeviller)", was published in the French magazine "L'Illustration" in 1916. The image documents an exhibition of damaged artworks and artifacts from the devastated regions of France during the First World War. The central focus of the photograph is a close-up view of the head and fragments of a statue of Saint Tarcisius, created by the renowned French sculptor Alexandre Falguiere. The statue, which once adorned the chateau de Gerbeviller in Meurthe et Moselle, France, was salvaged from the ruins of the war. The image captures the intricate details of the damaged statue, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of Falguiere despite the destruction. Falguiere, born in 1831, was a prominent French sculptor whose works often depicted religious themes. The statue of Saint Tarcisius, a martyr from the early Christian era, was likely a cherished piece in the collection of the chateau. The exhibition of these damaged works served as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of war on art and culture. The photograph, from the Collection de la Guerre IV of "L'Illustration", provides a glimpse into the past, offering a poignant reminder of the destruction and loss experienced during the First World War. The image is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of preserving and honoring the past.
