EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Autant de pris de l'ennemi" captures a poignant moment during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. Created by French artist Auguste Bry in 1872, this artwork showcases the resilience and desperation of French peasants faced with the imminent threat of enemy occupation. In this scene, we witness a group of impoverished farmers fearfully chasing their livestock to prevent them from falling into enemy hands. The intensity is palpable as these men display their determination to protect what little they have left amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war. Bry's monochrome depiction masterfully conveys the raw emotions experienced by these peasants. Their faces reflect both fear and determination, while their actions speak volumes about their unwavering spirit in the face of adversity. The print serves as a powerful reminder not only of the devastating impact that war has on ordinary people but also highlights themes such as poverty, occupation, and desperation. It transports us back to a time when survival was paramount for those living in rural France during one of its darkest periods. As an important artifact from history, this piece offers us a glimpse into the struggles endured by everyday individuals caught up in larger political conflicts. It stands as a testament to human resilience and serves as a stark reminder that even amidst despair, hope can still be found.
