Au fort de la bataille Jutland; 'Servant les pièces jusqu'à la fin!'
EDITORS COMMENTS
(At the fort of the Jutland battle; "Serving the pieces until the end!") is a powerful and poignant print by renowned Italian artist Fortunino Matania, created in 1916. This evocative image was published in the French magazine L'Illustration, as part of the Collection de la Guerre IV, and captures the intensity and brutality of the Battle of Jutland during the First World War. The print depicts a British sailor, his face etched with determination and exhaustion, serving a naval gun on a damaged battleship. The gun, with its massive barrel and intricate machinery, dominates the scene, a metaphor for the relentless and destructive power of naval warfare. The ship around him is in disarray, with smoke billowing from the deck and debris scattered about. In the background, the water is churned with the aftermath of a devastating shell explosion. The title of the print, "Servant les pièces jusqu'à la fin!" (Serving the pieces until the end!), speaks to the unyielding spirit of the sailors, who continued to fight and serve their guns despite the carnage and casualties around them. The image is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the soldiers and sailors who fought in the naval battles of the First World War. The print also highlights the devastating consequences of war, with dead and wounded soldiers and sailors visible in the background, lying motionless on the deck or being transported away on stretchers. The use of black and white adds to the somber and haunting atmosphere, emphasizing the stark reality of the conflict. Overall, "Au fort de la bataille Jutland; 'Servant les pièces jusqu'à la fin!'" is a powerful and poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War.
