EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a historic moment in French history - The Famous Joust between the Lancers from the Rapee and the Grenouillere. Taking place on a sunny day in August 1807, this thrilling competition unfolded on the waters of Seine River, right between two iconic bridges - Pont Royal and Pont de la Concorde. In this colored engraving by an anonymous artist from the 19th century, we witness a spectacle that celebrated Napoleon Bonaparte's birthday. The participants can be seen skillfully maneuvering their punts while jousting with long lances, displaying remarkable precision and agility. The atmosphere is electric as flags flutter in patriotic colors, representing both teams' spirit of competition. Spectators line up along both banks of Seine River to cheer for their favorite lancers. As tensions rise during this intense race, some competitors even risk falling overboard into the water. This artwork not only showcases an exhilarating moment but also provides us with a glimpse into France's rich cultural heritage. Preserved at Musee Paul Valery in Sete, France, it serves as a reminder of how art can immortalize historical events and transport us back to significant moments in time.
