EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Soldiers Resting recto Sketch Man Upraised Arm" we are transported back to the year 1878, where artist Edouard Detaille captures a poignant moment in history. The image showcases soldiers taking respite from their arduous duties, their weary bodies finding solace on the battlefield. Detaille's meticulous graphite and pen work brings life to each soldier's face, etching lines of exhaustion and determination onto the paper. Amongst them stands a man with an upraised arm, his gesture evoking both strength and defiance amidst the chaos of war. His presence serves as a reminder that even in moments of rest, these brave individuals remain vigilant. On the verso side of this remarkable piece lies another sketch - that of a helmet. This additional element adds depth to the artwork, symbolizing protection and resilience in times of conflict. Edouard Detaille was renowned for his ability to capture military scenes with unparalleled precision and emotion. As a French artist born in 1848, he witnessed firsthand the impact of war on his homeland during tumultuous times. The Liszt Collection presents us with this extraordinary glimpse into history through Detaille's masterful artistry. With its black ink strokes contrasting against the white sheet, this print becomes not just an artistic creation but also a testament to human endurance and sacrifice.
