EDITORS COMMENTS
Auguste Raffet's Artillery Men, from Souvenirs d'Italie: Expedition de Rome, 1858, is a captivating lithograph in black on ivory wove chine laid down on ivory wove paper. This masterpiece, created by the renowned French artist Denis Auguste Marie Raffet (1804-1865), transports us back to the Italian Wars of the 19th century. The image showcases a group of French artillery men, advancing with determination and discipline, as they prepare for battle. Their uniforms, adorned with various insignia and accoutrements, reflect the pride and heritage of the French military. The men are dressed in traditional military apparel, with heavy coats, wide-brimmed hats, and sturdy boots, all designed to protect them from the harsh Italian terrain. Raffet's expert use of lithography, a printing technique that involves drawing on a limestone plate, allows for intricate details and shading, bringing the scene to life. The black and white contrast of the lithograph adds depth and drama, highlighting the textures of the men's uniforms and the rugged landscape behind them. This artwork, titled "Artilleryman" in some collections, is part of a larger series called "Souvenirs d'Italie: Expedition de Rome," which documents Raffet's experiences during the French occupation of Rome in 1858. The series offers a unique perspective on military life during this period and is a valuable addition to the history of both French and Italian art. As we observe the Artillery Men marching forward, we are reminded of the rich heritage of military history and the importance of preserving such artistic records for future generations.
