EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the lyrics and music of the Marseillaise, the iconic French anthem composed by Rouget de Lisle. Created in the 19th century using Epinal imaging techniques, this piece is a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. The Marseillaise holds a special place in French culture as it symbolizes freedom, unity, and national pride. Its stirring melody has become synonymous with revolutionary spirit and resistance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when France was undergoing immense political upheaval during the French Revolution. The engraving captures not only the power of the song but also its connection to nature. Birdsong fills the air as if echoing the sentiments expressed in each verse. The partition itself serves as a visual representation of harmony and unity among citizens striving for change. Intriguingly, this print is part of Coll. Selva's private collection, adding an air of exclusivity to its already significant cultural value. It reminds us that art can transcend time and space, allowing us to connect with history on a deeply emotional level. As we reflect on this remarkable piece, let us remember how music has always played an integral role in shaping societies and inspiring movements for change. The Marseillaise continues to be sung proudly today as a reminder of France's enduring commitment to liberty and equality.
