EDITORS COMMENTS
Round Way, from Souvenirs d'Italie: Expedition de Rome, 1859" is a captivating lithograph in black on warm ivory wove chine laid down on off white wove paper, created by the renowned French artist Auguste Raffet (1804-1865), also known as Denis Auguste Marie Raffet. This masterpiece is a part of the "Souvenirs d'Italie" series, documenting the artist's expedition to Rome during the Italian Wars in the 19th century. The image portrays a group of soldiers, presumably French, making their way through a rocky terrain, likely in Italy. The men are shown in various poses, some with their weapons at the ready, others in deep conversation, and one even taking a break to rest. The trench-like path they follow winds its way through the landscape, leading the viewer's eye deep into the image. The soldiers' uniforms and equipment suggest that they are part of an armed force, possibly an army on the move. The image captures the raw reality of warfare during this period, with the soldiers' determined expressions and the rugged terrain reflecting the challenges they faced. The lithograph is a testament to Raffet's skill as a printmaker and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in history. The black and white composition adds to the sense of drama and intensity, while the warm ivory paper provides a rich, textured background. This powerful image is a must-see for anyone interested in military history, art, or the 19th century. The "Round Way, from Souvenirs d'Italie: Expedition de Rome, 1859" lithograph is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a unique glimpse into the past and a testament to the enduring power of art to capture history in a single image.
