EDITORS COMMENTS
En Alsace; Eclatement d'un obus allemand près de l'église de Thann" (In Alsace; Explosion of a German shell near the church of Thann) is a poignant and powerful watercolor painting by the renowned French artist Francois Flameng, created in 1915 during the First World War. The image captures the devastating impact of war on a quiet town square in Alsace, France, as an German shell explodes near the historic church of Thann in Haut-Rhin. The painting depicts the church, with its intricate Gothic architecture and red-tiled roof, standing defiantly amidst the chaos. The explosion has sent a plume of black smoke billowing into the sky, obscuring the blue and white buildings that line the square. Debris and rubble scatter the ground, and the calm waters of a nearby pond are disturbed by the force of the blast. The painting is a poignant reminder of the destruction and devastation wrought by the war, and the resilience of the people and structures that endured it. The use of color and light adds depth and emotion to the scene, with the contrast between the vibrant colors of the buildings and the dark smoke creating a striking visual impact. Francois Flameng's "En Alsace; Eclatement d'un obus allemand près de l'église de Thann" is a testament to the artist's skill and ability to capture the raw emotion and reality of the First World War. The painting is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the human cost of conflict. This watercolor painting was originally published in "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916" and is now part of the rich artistic and historical heritage of France.
