EDITORS COMMENTS
The Absolution of Volunteers, 1915 (litho) captures a poignant moment in history during the Great War. In this mesmerizing print by Lucien Hector Jonas, we witness soldiers on the front line seeking solace and spiritual guidance amidst the chaos of battle. Underneath a moonlit sky, soldiers bow their heads in prayer as a chaplain leads them in an act of absolution. The scene is filled with reverence and faith, as these brave men find comfort and strength through their religious beliefs. The presence of clergy from various religious orders highlights the diversity and unity within the armed forces. The artist skillfully portrays the solemnity of war while emphasizing moments of peace and tranquility. The soldiers kneel faithfully on a ladder that symbolizes their ascent towards salvation amidst the turmoil surrounding them. This image serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, individuals turn to religion for hope and reassurance. Jonas' use of light creates an ethereal atmosphere, casting shadows across the battlefield while illuminating those who seek forgiveness. It is through prayer that these troops find solace amid unimaginable circumstances. "The Absolution of Volunteers" stands not only as a testament to human resilience but also as an enduring tribute to all those who served during World War I. This powerful engraving reminds us that even amidst darkness, faith can guide us towards peace.
