EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Statue of Charles de Gaulle in Dinant, Wallonia, Namur, Belgium. Created by Guido Clabots in 2014 to commemorate the centenary of the Battle of Dinant in 1914, where de Gaulle fought and was wounded, this statue stands as a powerful reminder of the city's rich history. The blue sky overhead provides a beautiful backdrop for this poignant tribute to a key figure in European history.
In the background, we see La Croisette, a bustling promenade along the river Meuse lined with shops, restaurants, and boat moorings. This area was redeveloped in 2018, adding to the charm and vibrancy of this historic Belgian town.
The image captures not only the statue itself but also gives us a glimpse into daily life along the riverbank. People stroll along the promenade while boats bob gently in the water nearby. The architecture of Dinant adds to its picturesque beauty, making it a must-visit destination for those interested in exploring Europe's past.
This photograph is more than just a snapshot; it is a window into both Belgium's World War I history and its modern-day charm. Manuel Cohen has expertly captured both aspects in this image.
