EDITORS COMMENTS
(I won't draw back! If the cause was good, there would be no need for money to defend it) is a powerful and evocative phrase that resonates with the spirit of determination and courage. This image, created by the renowned 19th century French artist Auguste Raffet, captures the essence of this sentiment through a striking lithograph on ivory wove paper. The scene depicts a group of soldiers, dressed in their full military regalia, standing firm and ready for battle. The men, clad in bearskin hats and red coats, are armed with muskets and bayonets, their faces set with unwavering resolve. The title of the work, "28 Juillet 1830," refers to the date of the July Revolution in France, which marked the end of the Bourbon monarchy and the beginning of the Second French Republic. Raffet's masterful use of lithography, a printing technique that allows for intricate detail and tonal depth, brings the image to life. The black and white contrast of the lithotint creates a sense of drama and intensity, while the individual details of each soldier's uniform and expression are rendered with remarkable precision. The artwork, now held in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve historical moments. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and courage of those who have defended their causes, and the importance of standing firm in the face of adversity. Whether viewed as a work of art or a historical artifact, "Je n'tire pas! Si la cause était bonne, y n'faudrait pas d'argent pour la défendre" continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
