The Young Recruit / Going to the War
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and powerful coloured lithograph vignette, created by an unknown artist after the designs of Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld and Wilhelm von Wagner in 1855. This moving image captures the bittersweet moment of a young recruit taking leave of his family before heading off to war. The scene is set in the recruit's humble home, where his loved ones gather around him in a desperate attempt to hold on to the fleeting moments they have left together. The young man, dressed in his military uniform, looks back at his family with a mixture of sadness and determination, knowing that he may not return from the battlefield. In the foreground, a sergeant of dragoons stands at the open door, gesturing for the young recruit to come and join his comrades. The sergeant's stern expression and the ominous shadow cast by the doorway serve as a stark reminder of the gravity of the situation and the harsh realities that await the young man. The use of vibrant colours and intricate details in this lithograph add depth and emotion to the scene, making it a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during times of war. The image is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the human experience and evoke strong emotions. This beautiful and moving work of art is a valuable addition to any collection and a reminder of the profound impact that war has on individuals and families. The Young Recruit / Going to the War is a powerful and poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by young men and women in uniform, and the love and support of their families that sustains them through the most challenging of times.
