EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Victory, 1905" by Jean-Baptiste Edouard Detaille takes us back to a time when battles were fought with swords and soldiers rode into war on horseback. This oil on canvas masterpiece, measuring 144x76 cm, now resides in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Dunkirk, France. In this allegorical depiction of Victory, we witness a powerful female personification triumphantly perched atop a magnificent winged horse. Her presence exudes strength and determination as she leads an army of brave soldiers into battle. Clad in armor and wielding swords, these warriors fight valiantly under the French flag - the tricolore proudly waving above them. Detaille's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate armor worn by each soldier to the flowing mane of Victory's majestic steed. The artist created this piece as a study for the ceiling of Hotel de Ville, showcasing his mastery not only in capturing historical accuracy but also conveying emotion through art. This print serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for victory throughout history. It symbolizes resilience and courage while honoring those who have defended their homeland against all odds. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to that momentous era where heroes emerged amidst chaos and triumphed over adversity.
