EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Allegory of France" takes us back to the 19th century, specifically to May 23rd, 1891. The image showcases a stunning colour lithograph created by Fortune Louis Meaulle and Henri Meyer, two renowned artists of their time. This particular piece is part of a private collection. The allegorical representation portrays France in all its glory - a female figure symbolizing the nation herself. She stands proudly amidst a bountiful cornfield, emphasizing the importance of agriculture in French culture. In the background, we catch sight of the iconic Eiffel Tower towering over Paris as if guarding this fruitful land. The scene exudes abundance and prosperity as workers can be seen cutting and harvesting crops with sickles. It's an ode to hard work and vigilance that characterizes France's spirit - "La France Travaille et Veille" as inscribed on the artwork. This masterpiece was inspired by another painting by Poilleux-Saint-Ange, showcasing his influence on both Meaulle and Meyer's artistic vision. The composition beautifully combines elements of symbolism with realism, creating an enchanting visual narrative. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness not only the beauty but also the cultural significance embedded within it. A true testament to French artistry and national pride captured for eternity through this exquisite photograph reproduction from Fine Art Finder at Bridgeman Images. com
