EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a moment of respite for a patrol of Chasseurs Alpins, or 'Blue Devils,' during the First World War. The painting is the work of Pierre Comba (1859-1934), a French artist renowned for his depictions of the military, particularly the Chasseurs Alpins. At the time of the Great War, Comba's watercolors were widely reproduced as postcards, contributing significantly to the legend of these brave mountain soldiers. Comba was a respected member of both the Society of Military Painters and the French Alpine Club, and was recognized with the Palmes Académiques, an honor bestowed by the French government for outstanding achievements in the arts or literature. In addition to his artistic pursuits, Comba was deeply involved in charitable efforts for soldiers in Nice and the Alpes-Maritimes region. This painting, with its stunning alpine backdrop, offers a glimpse into the harsh realities and heroic spirit of the Chasseurs Alpins during wartime. The Blue Devils earned their nickname for their distinctive blue uniforms and their fearless reputation on the battlefield. Despite the challenges they faced, they remained steadfast in their duty, making this image a poignant reminder of their bravery and resilience.
