EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in French history - the departure of The National Guard of Paris from Pont Neuf to join the army in September 1792. Painted by renowned artist Leon Cogniet between 1833 and 1836, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 1.89x2.04 meters. The painting showcases the grandeur and solemnity of this significant event, with rows upon rows of uniformed soldiers gathered on Pont Neuf, ready to embark on their military journey. Each soldier stands tall and proud, representing the strength and unity of the National Guard. Leon Cogniet's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only the physical appearance but also the emotions that must have filled these brave men as they prepared for battle. The composition skillfully utilizes light and shadow to create depth and atmosphere. Displayed at Versailles' Castles of Versailles and Trianon, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder of France's turbulent past during the revolutionary period. It symbolizes patriotism, sacrifice, and determination - qualities that are still revered today. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Photo Josse, we can't help but be transported back in time to witness firsthand this pivotal moment in French history when ordinary citizens transformed into defenders of their nation.
