EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the City of Lille in 1838, capturing a moment frozen in time. The image showcases a monumental stone statue created by James Pradier, depicting an allegorical female figure seated with a sword in hand. This architectural masterpiece stood proudly at the Place de la Concorde in Paris, France. The photograph reveals intricate details of the statue's craftsmanship and the grandeur of its surroundings. The towering height of 250 cm emphasizes its significance as a symbol of power and strength. However, it is important to note that this iconic piece was tragically destroyed during the turmoil of 1871 but was later rebuilt by Lequesne in 1872. The composition exudes elegance and grace, with the female figure radiating poise while holding her weapon firmly. The architecture surrounding her adds to the overall splendor, showcasing Jacques Ange Gabriel's Ministere de la Marine as a backdrop. This stunning image has been preserved through time thanks to Studio Giraudon from early 20th century Switzerland. It serves as a reminder of both artistic beauty and historical significance. As we admire this remarkable work captured by www. bridgemanimages. com, we are transported into an era where statues like these were not only admired for their aesthetic appeal but also celebrated for their symbolic representation within society.
