EDITORS COMMENTS
Attention! The Emperor has his eye on you," is an evocative and captivating lithograph by the 19th-century French artist Auguste Raffet. Created in 1832, this powerful work of art depicts a stern and watchful emperor, surrounded by a formation of armed soldiers, all with their eyes fixed forward and their bayonets at the ready. The image exudes a sense of tension and anticipation, as if the emperor's gaze is a call to action, and the soldiers are on the brink of marching into battle. The black and white lithograph on cream wove paper, with its intricate details and masterful use of contrast, invites viewers to step back in time to the nineteenth century and immerse themselves in the world of military might and imperial power. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and armed with muskets and bayonets, are depicted in a disciplined and orderly fashion, each man a part of a larger whole. The emperor, with his regal bearing and piercing gaze, dominates the scene, his presence a reminder of the authority and control that comes with the mantle of imperial power. The image, now held in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the essence of history and transport us to another time and place. Whether viewed as a work of art, a historical document, or a glimpse into the human experience of war and military life, "Attention! The Emperor has his eye on you" continues to captivate and inspire viewers, more than 180 years after it was first created. Auguste Raffet, a prolific and influential artist of his time, is known for his mastery of the lithographic medium, and this work is a prime example of his skill and artistry. With its intricate details, bold composition, and powerful sense of presence, "Attention! The Emperor has his eye on you" is a work of art that demands attention and rewards close examination.
