EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history during the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. The image depicts General Cambronne, commanding the last square of Garde, as he faces an enemy demanding the surrender of the French army. Despite being surrounded and outnumbered, the guard remains defiant and unyielding. The illustration was created by Job (Jacques Marie Gaston Onfray de Breville), a pseudonym for Jacques-Marie (1858-1931), for his book "Les grands mots historiques du pays de France" in 1915. This powerful artwork showcases Job's talent for capturing historical moments with great detail and emotion. The brave soldier who lies dead at General Cambronne's feet symbolizes unwavering courage and patriotism. Even in death, he refuses to respond to the enemy's demand for surrender, embodying the indomitable spirit of the French army. This print serves as a reminder of the fierce rivalry between nations during this tumultuous period in history. It also highlights the valor displayed by soldiers on both sides of this historic battle. Stefano Bianchetti beautifully brings this engraving to life through vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. His work transports viewers back to that fateful day on which countless lives were lost but never forgotten. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this print stands as a testament to human resilience and sacrifice amidst war's chaos.
