EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "War (engraving)" by Edwin Landseer depicts a powerful and poignant scene that explores the complex relationship between man, animals, and the devastating consequences of war. The image showcases a battlefield strewn with fallen soldiers, both dead and wounded, as they engage in fierce combat alongside their loyal warhorses. The artist masterfully captures the intensity of the battle, highlighting the bravery and determination of these fighting men and their noble steeds. Amidst the chaos, a single rose symbolizes hope amidst despair, reminding us of the fragility of life even in times of conflict. The engraving also draws attention to the role medicine plays on the battlefield. Depicting injured soldiers receiving medical aid from an Asklepios figure - representing healing and health - it underscores humanity's constant struggle to mend wounds inflicted during warfare. Furthermore, this artwork delves into themes such as confrontation, clash, and relationships within conflict-ridden environments. It portrays not only human conflicts but also highlights how animals are entangled in our battles; racehorses, ponies, shire horses all become unwilling participants in this brutal spectacle. Through Landseer's skilled craftsmanship captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, this print serves as a somber reminder of war's toll on both humans and animals alike. It invites viewers to reflect upon our shared responsibility for creating peaceful coexistence amidst turbulent times while acknowledging that violence leaves no one unscathed.
