EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant painting by Louisa Starr Canziani, titled "But things like that, you know, must be after a famous victory," depicts an elderly man offering comfort to a distraught young woman in the aftermath of a devastating report in a newspaper. The scene, painted in 1903, is believed to be inspired by the Boer War, a conflict that raged in South Africa from 1899 to 1902. The old man, dressed in patriotic attire and wearing a ribbon, is deeply moved by the news of the battle and reaches out to the weeping woman, offering her solace and support. The title of the painting is taken from a line in Robert Southey's poem "The Battle of Blenheim" or "After Blenheim," which was written in 1796 and reflects on the bittersweet nature of victory. The painting captures the raw emotion of grief and sadness, as the old man's comforting touch provides a moment of respite in the midst of tragedy. The use of muted colors and intricate details adds to the overall sense of melancholy and introspection, making this a powerful and moving work of art that continues to resonate with viewers today.
