The Angelus of the Great War - A Moment of Prayer and Reflection in the Rural Countryside, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War, a moment of tranquility and introspection unfolds in this poignant cartoon by an unknown artist, titled "The Angelus." The image captures the simple yet profound scene of a woman and her two children pausing in their farm work to pray, their gazes lifted towards the heavens as they contemplate the safety and well-being of their husband and father, who is far away at the front. The tableau echoes the famous painting of the same name by Jean-Francois Millet, a depiction of rural life and faith that has resonated with generations. The Angelus prayer, traditionally recited three times a day - at 6am, noon, and 6pm - is a reminder of the sacred bond between family and faith, even in the midst of war. The scene is set against the backdrop of a quaint French farmhouse, with the rolling hills and verdant fields of the countryside stretching out in the distance. The children - a young girl and a toddler - stand hand in hand, their innocent faces etched with a sense of sadness and worry, reflecting the heavy burden of wartime life. The cartoon, created in 1917, serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, and the enduring power of faith and family to provide comfort and solace in even the most challenging of times. The image is a testament to the resilience and fortitude of the human spirit, and a reminder of the importance of cherishing the simple moments of life in the face of adversity.
