EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Parisian history - the brave students of the Ecole Polytechnique defending the Barriere du Trone, one of the gates of Paris, during the tumultuous year of 1814. The colour litho artwork, created by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, showcases their unwavering patriotism and courage. The image was originally published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on March 29th, 1914 - exactly one hundred years after this heroic event took place. It depicts a scene from the Napoleonic Wars when France was under attack and its troops were engaged in fierce battles against opposing forces. In this particular composition, we see a group of determined young soldiers standing shoulder to shoulder at the gate's entrance. They proudly wave their tricolour flag as they confront their adversaries with unwavering resolve. Their duty to defend their beloved city is evident in every line and brushstroke. This powerful visual narrative not only pays tribute to these brave students but also serves as a reminder of France's rich military history and its indomitable spirit. It symbolizes both resilience and sacrifice while capturing a pivotal moment that shaped Paris' destiny. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this print continues to inspire viewers with its depiction of bravery amidst conflict. Its historical significance resonates deeply with those who appreciate art that tells stories beyond mere aesthetics.
