EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of "The Taking of Setif during the Conquest of Algeria" on October 21st, 1839. Painted by Adrien Dauzats in 1844, this oil on canvas artwork measures 89x116 cm and is housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Orleans, France. In this scene from the Conquete of Algeria, Lieutenant General Galbois leads his troops into an encampment where they lay siege to Setif. The atmosphere is tense as soldiers set up their tents amidst the vast desert landscape. The Muslim inhabitants watch anxiously as their camp is surrounded by French forces. El Mokrani, a prominent African leader from North Africa, stands at the forefront of resistance against colonial rule. His presence symbolizes the fierce determination and resilience of Algerians during this tumultuous period. The painting beautifully depicts both sides of this conflict - capturing not only the strength and bravery displayed by French soldiers but also highlighting the rich Arab civilization that thrived in Sudan. It serves as a reminder of Africa's complex history and its diverse cultures. This powerful image transports us back to a time when Algeria was fighting for its independence against foreign occupation. It invites contemplation on themes such as imperialism, conquests, and cultural clashes that have shaped our world today.
