EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Alfred Philippe Roll, we are transported back to the 14th of July, 1880 in France. The study captures the vibrant atmosphere of Bastille Day, a significant public holiday celebrated with great enthusiasm throughout the country. As we gaze at the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the lively bandstand where a band is playing melodious tunes that fill the air. The artist skillfully portrays a scene filled with joy and merriment as crowds gather around to revel in this momentous occasion. People from all walks of life have come together to commemorate their shared values and embrace their republican spirit. The energy emanating from the painting is palpable; one can almost hear the infectious rhythm of music and feel the excitement buzzing through every individual present. Roll's attention to detail allows us to witness firsthand how each person in this nineteenth-century crowd is engrossed in their own unique experience of celebration. Some dance along with abandon, while others simply sway gently to the beat. Children laugh and play amidst it all, adding an element of innocence and purity to this grand spectacle. As we admire this remarkable piece by Alfred Philippe Roll, we cannot help but be reminded of our own cherished traditions and national holidays that bring people together in unity. It serves as a timeless reminder that no matter which era or century we belong to, there will always be moments when music has an extraordinary power to unite us all in sheer blissful harmony.
