EDITORS COMMENTS
November 11, 1920: The Installation of the Unknown Soldier under the Arc de Triomphe, Paris, by Jules Ernest Renoux This evocative oil painting by French artist Jules Ernest Renoux captures a significant moment in French history: the installation of the Unknown Soldier under the Arc de Triomphe in Paris on November 11, 1920. The event marked the end of the commemoration of the Armistice Day, which had been observed since the end of World War I in 1918. The painting depicts a crowd of people gathered around the Arc de Triomphe, located at Place Charles de Gaulle (formerly Place de l'Étoile), in the heart of Paris. The monument, bathed in the soft glow of illumination, stands proudly against the night sky, its intricate carvings and inscriptions illuminated by the light. The Unknown Soldier, carried on a gun carriage, is being carried up the steps of the monument, surrounded by soldiers in uniform, as a woman and men look on with reverence and respect. The painting is an impressive example of impressionist art from the 1920s, with its rich use of color and oil on wood technique. The scene is lit up by the warm glow of the lamps, casting long shadows and adding depth and texture to the image. The square is bustling with activity, as people gather to witness this historic moment, their faces illuminated by the light. The Unknown Soldier installation was a powerful symbol of the sacrifices made during the war and the unity of the French people. Renoux's painting captures the solemnity and importance of the moment, making it a significant piece of French heritage art and a must-see for anyone visiting Parisian museums.
