On ne passe pas - The Battle for Verdun
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and poignant topographical sculpture by French artist Louis Octave Mattei, born circa 1880. Mattei, who studied under Tonnelier and exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Francais, created this masterpiece during the aftermath of the First World War. The Battle of Verdun, fought from February to December 1916, was one of the longest and deadliest engagements of World War I. With an estimated quarter of a million casualties on both sides, it became a symbol of the futility and devastation of the war. Mattei's sculpture captures the essence of this tragic battle, with its intricate details and moving portrayal of soldiers from both sides. The title "On ne passe pas" translates to "We shall not pass," a phrase that became a rallying cry for the French forces during the battle. The sculpture depicts a group of French soldiers holding their ground against the onslaught of the German army, their determination and resolve etched into their faces. The topographical detail in the sculpture is remarkable, with intricately carved terrain and realistic depictions of soldiers and weapons. Mattei's skill as a sculptor and engraver is evident in the fine details and textures, making this a historical piece that transports viewers back to the trenches of the Western Front. The Battle for Verdun remains a significant moment in military history, and Mattei's sculpture serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War. This artwork is not only a testament to the artist's talent but also a poignant tribute to the bravery and resilience of the men who fought in this brutal conflict.
