Corfou et l'Achilleion - Une baie de l'ile de Corfou,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating photograph by French artist B. Borri, dates back to 1916. This evocative image is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Janvier, Fevrier, Mars, Avril, Mai, Juin 1916," published in France during the First World War. The photograph presents a breathtaking view of Corfu, an idyllic Greek island in the Ionian Sea. At the heart of the scene lies the grand Achilleion Palace, a stately home commandeered by Empress Elisabeth of Austria during her visits to the island in the late 19th century. Named after the legendary Greek hero Achilles, the palace was adorned with numerous statues and mythological motifs, reflecting the Empress's fascination with Greek mythology. In Borri's photograph, the palace stands proudly on a hillside overlooking a serene bay. The bay, dotted with small boats and framed by lush greenery, exudes a sense of tranquility that starkly contrasts with the tumultuous events of the First World War. The military hospital located nearby, hinted at by the presence of medical tents, serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing conflict. The monochrome palette of the photograph, with its stark whites and deep shadows, emphasizes the timeless beauty of the landscape and the poignant contrast between peace and war. Borri's composition masterfully captures the essence of this enchanting location, making it a testament to the power of art to transcend the chaos of war and transport us to another world. This photograph is not only a visual document of a bygone era but also a powerful reminder of the enduring allure of Greek mythology and the beauty of the natural world, even in the midst of conflict. Borri's "Corfou et l'Achilleion: Une baie de l'ile de Corfou" is a timeless work of art that continues to captivate viewers with its hauntingly beautiful imagery.
