On lui Fait Toujours des Charges!!
EDITORS COMMENTS
(He Keeps Giving Him Charges!) is an evocative and thought-provoking lithograph by the 19th-century French artist Auguste Raffet. Created in 1827, this masterpiece is now part of the esteemed collection at the Art Institute of Chicago. The image captures a group of three young men huddled around a campfire in the countryside. The central figure, dressed in military uniform, is forcefully pushing a young man towards a cooking pot, while another man holds a cooking pot with a pipkin on it. The scene exudes an air of tension and violence, with the central figure's cruel expression and the submissive posture of the young man. The lithograph, which is a lithotint with hand colouring on cream wove paper, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the intricacies of human emotion and interaction. The use of black and white with selective hand colouring adds depth and nuance to the image, making it a standout piece of 19th-century art. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the harsh realities of life in rural France during this era. The men's clothing, with its heavy military uniforms and simple country dress, underscores the stark divide between the occupations and social classes of the time. The campfire, a symbol of warmth and community, serves as a backdrop to the violent scene unfolding before it. Raffet's "On lui Fait Toujours des Charges!!", with its powerful imagery and thought-provoking themes, continues to captivate and inspire art lovers and historians alike. This masterpiece serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that the Art Institute of Chicago and other art institutions preserve for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
