EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the intricate details of "The International Exhibition: armoury, or porte-fusils," a masterpiece created by French artist Jules Fossey in 1862. The work is a beautiful representation of carved walnut-wood, showcasing an exquisite blend of hunting and military themes. The base of the piece consists of two cupboards, each with glazed doors, designed to hold hunting and military weapons and accoutrements. The centerpiece is a trophy of arms, featuring a shield, helmet, gauntlets, and swords, flanked by a hunter and a warrior, both sculpted in wood. Each cupboard is crowned by an allegorical figure and two trophies, representing the attributes of the chase on one side and those of war on the other. Two smaller cupboards, closing with doors inlaid with marble, form the base, and the entire piece is topped by a pediment, featuring an eagle with outstretched wings hovering over a pile of war equipment. The work is spirited in its execution and well-proportioned, with rich ornamental features that are tenderly and skillfully treated. Jules Fossey, a renowned artist from Paris, created this exquisite piece in 1862. His works are celebrated for their excellence, and this piece is no exception. In 1855, Fossey was honored with the title of Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur, a testament to his artistic achievements.
