EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent East facade of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France. Completed between 1806 and 1886, this architectural masterpiece was designed by Jean Francois Therese Chalgrin (1739-1811). The photograph captures every intricate detail of this iconic triumphal arch. The viewer is immediately drawn to the bas-reliefs adorning the facade. One such relief depicts the Triumph of Napoleon, created by J. P. Cortot, while another portrays the Departure of the Volunteers in 1792, sculpted by Francois Rude. These artistic elements add depth and historical significance to an already awe-inspiring structure. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to a period when Napoleon Bonaparte's influence reigned supreme. The Arc de Triomphe stands as a symbol of his military victories and grandeur. Peter Willi's expert photography allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also provides insight into French social history. This print serves as a visual reminder of General Charles de Gaulle's legacy and his connection to Place Charles de Gaulle. With its timeless appeal and cultural significance, this stunning photograph captures both art enthusiasts' attention and those with an appreciation for history alike. It is a testament to Peter Willi's skill behind the lens that he has managed to encapsulate all these elements within one frame without compromising any detail or emotion evoked by this remarkable landmark.
