EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment during the Battle of Arcole in Italy, 1796. The image depicts a French cantiniere, or canteen keeper, standing on the riverbank and witnessing her husband among a group of drowning soldiers. The artist, Henri Georges Jacques Chartier, beautifully portrays the woman's grief-stricken expression as she realizes the fate of her beloved amidst the chaos of war. Taken from an illustration published in Le Figaro Illustre in 1894, this color lithograph showcases the emotional toll that conflict takes on individuals and their loved ones. The wife's despair is palpable as she gazes helplessly at her husband struggling for survival in the treacherous waters. The Battle of Arcole was part of the French Revolutionary Wars and marked by fierce combat between French and Austrian forces. This scene serves as a reminder of the human cost paid during such conflicts - not only through loss on the battlefield but also through personal anguish endured by those left behind. Chartier's artwork skillfully conveys both sorrow and bravery within this historical context. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as sacrifice, devotion, and resilience amid adversity. As we observe this powerful image today, it serves as a testament to all those affected by war throughout history – reminding us never to forget their stories nor take peace for granted.
