EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the awe-inspiring Triumph Arch of Paris, a neoclassical monument that stands as a symbol of French history and national pride. The right face of the arch is adorned with the depiction of "The Departure of the Volunteers in 1792," also known as "The Marseillaise." This intricate relief sculpture, created by the renowned French sculptor François Rude between 1833 and 1836, tells the story of the first volunteers of the French Revolution leaving Paris to defend the country against external threats. The central figure of the relief is a woman personifying Marseille, the ancient Greek goddess of war, who is depicted encouraging the volunteers with an outstretched hand and a fiery gaze. She embodies the spirit of liberty and the courage of the French people during a pivotal moment in their history. The volunteers, depicted as ordinary citizens, follow her lead, ready to defend their homeland and fight for their freedom. This masterpiece of neoclassical art is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit and the importance of unity and courage during times of adversity. The Triumph Arch of Paris, with its intricate relief sculptures, stands as a symbol of the French Empire's rich history and the enduring legacy of the 19th century. The intricate details of the sculpture, such as the folds of the clothing and the expressions on the faces of the volunteers, bring the scene to life and transport us back in time to the greater era of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Empire.
