Turn by the Belltower, Framework Pending the Turkish Occupation,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph in black on ivory wove paper, created by the renowned French artist Denis Auguste Marie Raffet in 1839. This masterpiece, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases a poignant moment in history as four men, dressed in traditional clothing, gather near a bell tower in an occupied territory. The men, one of whom is mounted on a horse, appear to be deep in discussion, possibly contemplating their next move as they face the impending Turkish occupation. In the background, a horse and rider are seen turning away from the scene, adding an element of urgency and tension to the image. Raffet's expert use of lithotint and his meticulous attention to detail bring the scene to life, transporting viewers back to the 19th century. The bell tower, with its intricate framework, stands proudly in the foreground, serving as a symbol of the heritage and history of the country. This powerful and evocative image, with its rich historical context, is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for art, history, or the human condition. The men's expressions and body language convey a sense of determination and resilience, making it a compelling addition to any art collection or gallery. Auguste Raffet's "Turn by the Belltower, Framework Pending the Turkish Occupation," is a testament to the artist's skill and his ability to capture a moment in time that continues to resonate with viewers more than 180 years later. This beautiful and thought-provoking lithograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving our history and the stories it tells.
