EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the First World War's outbreak, a poignant moment of love and farewell unfolds on the battlefield. In this evocative painting by French artist Georges Scott, a soldier takes a moment to embrace his sweetheart before returning to the front lines. The tender scene is juxtaposed against the backdrop of raging war, with smoke rising from the battlefield and the sounds of gunfire and explosions echoing in the distance. The painting, which appeared on the front page of L'Illustration on August 15, 1914, captures the raw emotions and realities of war time. The soldier's determination and love for his sweetheart are palpable, as he holds her tightly and whispers words of comfort and reassurance. The woman, with tears streaming down her face, clings to him, knowing that she may not see him again. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, and the enduring power of love and connection, even in the most trying of times. The painting is a testament to the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in the Great War, and the loved ones they left behind.
