Battery no.9
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by Denis Auguste Marie Raffet, created in 1859 as part of his "Souvenirs d'Italie: Expedition de Rome" series. This evocative image, held at the Art Institute of Chicago, transports us back to the Italian Wars of the 19th century. The scene unfolds before us as a panoramic view of Battery no.9, a formidable military installation. The battery is positioned atop a rocky outcropping, with a breathtaking Italian landscape stretching out in the background. The men of the French armed forces are busily preparing for action, with cannons pointed towards the horizon. Smoke billows from the cannon's muzzles, hinting at recent firing or imminent attack. The composition is expertly executed in lithotint, a technique that allows for a rich, tonal range, resulting in the striking contrast between the black arms and equipment and the warm ivory wove paper. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, are depicted with a sense of purpose and determination, their faces focused on the task at hand. The image is a testament to the concept of warfare during this era, with its emphasis on the importance of strategic positioning, military might, and the human element. It invites us to reflect on the history of the Italian Wars and the role that France played in shaping the region's political landscape. This print, with its letterbox format and evocative imagery, is a must-see for anyone interested in military history, art, or the 19th century. It is a powerful reminder of the past, inviting us to contemplate the complexities of war and the human experience.
