EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print titled "Pinching of the Nose - Neys Declaration, I Swear It Smells of Violet" captures a unique blend of history and humor. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this engraving depicts Michel Ney, also known as Marshal Ney, a prominent military commander during the French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars. The image cleverly plays on words with a pun: Ney sounds like Nez, which means nose in French. The caption adds to the whimsical nature of the artwork as it states that Ney swears that something smells like violets. This juxtaposition between serious historical events and playful satire creates an engaging visual experience. Ney's story is one filled with conflicting loyalties. When Napoleon returned from exile in Elba, Ney initially promised King Louis XVIII to stop Napoleon's march to Paris but ultimately joined forces with his former leader during the Waterloo campaign. As a consequence for treason against France's monarchy, he was condemned by the house of peers and executed. The caricature-like portrayal in this print emphasizes both Ney's military prowess and his humorous side. With its satirical elements and comical undertones, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into history through an entertaining lens.
