EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Psara from The Complete Works of Beranger, 1836" by Auguste Raffet takes us back to the turbulent times of the Greek War of Independence in the 19th century. With his masterful wood engraving technique, Raffet skillfully captures the essence of this historical event. The image portrays a scene filled with horror and destruction. In the foreground, we see soldiers engaged in battle, their faces etched with determination and despair. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he brings out the intensity of their struggle for freedom against the Ottoman Empire. Psara, a small Greek island known for its bravery during this war, serves as a poignant backdrop. Its once vibrant streets now lie in ruins, symbolizing both sacrifice and resilience. This print stands as a testament to the courage displayed by those who fought valiantly for their country's independence. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork showcases Raffet's artistic prowess and his ability to evoke emotions through his engravings. It transports viewers back in time to witness firsthand the devastating consequences of war on both individuals and nations. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by Auguste Raffet over a century ago, we are reminded not only of our shared history but also of humanity's enduring spirit amidst adversity.
