EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative watercolor painting by Pierre Comba captures a moment in time as a company of French Line Regiment soldiers patrol the Mediterranean coastline, around 1914. The soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, march along the winding road, their determined expressions and alert posture reflecting their military training and readiness. The lush greenery and vibrant blue sea in the background add a sense of tranquility and beauty to the scene, contrasting with the soldiers' serious demeanor. Pierre Comba (1859-1934) was a renowned French painter, best known for his depictions of the French military, particularly the Chasseurs Alpins, or Blue Devils. At the time of the Great War, Comba's watercolors were widely reproduced as postcards, bringing fame to the Blue Devils and their daring exploits. Comba was a dedicated artist, a member of the Society of Military Painters and the French Alpine Club, and a recipient of the Palmes Académiques, an honor from the French government for outstanding achievements in the arts or literature. Beyond his artistic pursuits, Comba was deeply involved in charities dealing with soldiers in Nice and the Alpes-Maritimes region, demonstrating his commitment to the welfare of the military community. This painting, with its intricate details and rich colors, is a testament to Comba's skill as an artist and his deep connection to the French military.
