EDITORS COMMENTS
The Departure of the Volunteers of 1792, also known as The Marseillaise, is a renowned high-relief sculpture created by French artist François Rude (1784-1855). This masterpiece, located on the eastern wall of the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile in Paris, was completed between 1833 and 1836 during the Romantic era. The vertical, upright composition of the relief is a testament to the grandeur and power of the scene it portrays. The relief depicts a vibrant and dynamic scene of volunteers from Marseille, a city in southern France, preparing to leave for Paris to defend the French Revolution. The colorful representation of the volunteers, dressed in various attire, is captured in the moment of their departure, with their faces filled with determination and resolve. The relief is carved in calcareous stone, a choice that adds a sense of solidity and permanence to the work. The Arc de Triomphe, a symbol of French military and national pride, provides an appropriate and grand setting for Rude's masterpiece. The eastern wall, specifically, was reserved for the depiction of the French Revolution and its key figures. The Departure of the Volunteers of 1792 is a fitting addition to this historical and cultural landmark, and a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve important moments in history.
