EDITORS COMMENTS
Andre Devambez's captivating monochrome painting, "Les Macrobes: L'armee des Macrobes etait la rangee sur les deux rives" (The army of Macrobes was positioned on both sides of the river), created in 1909, transports us to an enigmatic and dreamlike scene along the Seine in Paris. The tranquil waterway, illuminated by the soft glow of the night, is disrupted by the presence of monstrous creatures lining the banks. Their hulking forms, reminiscent of ancient mythological beasts, add an otherworldly and unsettling element to the otherwise picturesque landscape. The iconic silhouette of Notre Dame Cathedral, a symbol of Christianity and French heritage, stands proudly in the background, offering a stark contrast to the macabre scene unfolding before it. The bridge and boats moored along the river add to the sense of stillness and calm, further emphasizing the surreal nature of the monsters' presence. Devambez masterfully employs the use of oil painting on canvas to create a textured and richly detailed image, capturing the essence of a bygone era. The monochrome palette, with its striking contrasts of black and white, adds to the painting's timeless and haunting quality. This evocative work of art, now housed in one of Paris' esteemed museums such as the Petit Palais, invites us to ponder the mysteries of the past and the power of our imagination. The painting serves as a reminder that even in the most familiar surroundings, there may be hidden depths and unexpected wonders waiting to be discovered.
