EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image, titled "Goodbye, Old Man," is a masterpiece by the renowned special artist Fortunino Matania, created during the tumultuous year of 1916 in the midst of the First World War. The scene depicted in this evocative photograph is taken from the pages of The Sphere magazine, a publication known for its high-quality illustrations and reporting. Matania's painting captures a poignant moment on the road to a battery position in Southern Flanders. In the image, a weary gunner, his uniform stained with the grime and dirt of battle, bids a heartfelt farewell to his wounded horse. The horse, its once proud and powerful form now weakened by injury, gazes back at its soldier with a look of understanding and loyalty. The sentimental illustration was one of the most popular and iconic images of the war, striking a chord with the public and becoming a symbol of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their animals during the conflict. The print was produced using the photogravure process, ensuring a high level of detail and depth, making it a treasured possession for collectors and history enthusiasts. The "Goodbye, Old Man" print is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the essence of historical moments and evoke emotion. Fortunino Matania's masterpiece continues to resonate with audiences today, serving as a poignant reminder of the human-animal bond and the sacrifices made during the First World War.
