EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph captures the grandeur and power of the French Navy review off Cherbourg in the late 19th century. Painted by Fortune Louis Meaulle, this artwork showcases a momentous event that took place on July 29,1900. The illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Parisien, providing a visual spectacle for its readers. The scene is filled with vibrant tricolour flags fluttering proudly against a backdrop of warships and battleships. The fleet stands tall as a symbol of French military might, with Admiral Trehouart leading the charge. Sailors can be seen manning their posts, ready to defend their nation's honor at sea. The composition highlights several prominent ships such as Bouvet, Hallebarde, Jemappes, Elan, Pothau, Brennus, Valmy and Jaureguiberry. Each vessel represents France's naval prowess during this era. Meaulle's attention to detail brings life to every element within the print - from the meticulously painted ships to Antoine Lavoisier standing prominently on one of them. Lavoisier was not only an influential chemist but also served as an officer in the French Army. This artwork serves as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece capturing the essence of militarism during this time period. It transports viewers back to a significant moment in French history when national pride soared high amidst international tensions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of France's rich cultural heritage intertwined with its military strength throughout centuries past.
