EDITORS COMMENTS
Arriere garde du Pape, ou la frayer du reverend pere caporal" (Rear guard of the Pope, or the frayer of the Reverend Father Corporal) is a powerful and evocative print that captures the essence of the waning days of the Papal States during the French Revolution. The image, dating from 1797, depicts the ragged and demoralized rear-guard troops of the Pope's army, huddled together in fear as they retreat from the advancing French forces. In the distance, the dashing and well-dressed figure of Napoleon Bonaparte emerges from the billowing clouds, leading his troops with unyielding determination and resolve. The contrast between the ragged and disheveled soldiers of the Papal army and the smartly dressed and disciplined French troops is stark and unmistakable. The term "frayer" in the title refers to the practice of soldiers throwing off their uniforms and equipment in order to blend in with the civilian population and escape the battlefield. The Reverend Father Corporal, a cleric who had taken up arms to defend the Papal States, is among those shown in the print, his robes discarded and his face etched with the anguish of defeat. The print is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the often-tenuous line between religious and military authority. It also serves as a visual testament to the military prowess and strategic acumen of Napoleon Bonaparte, who would go on to become one of the most influential figures in world history. This print, with its rich historical context and compelling visual narrative, is a must-have for any serious collector of historical prints or those with an interest in the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.
