EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the painting "Alsace and Lorraine" by A. A. Lesrel, created in 1883. The artwork, housed at the Musee d'art et d'histoire in Avranches, France, beautifully captures the essence of Alsace and Lorraine's history and regionalism. In this poignant scene, a young child dressed in traditional costume stands solemnly beside a flag-adorned crown. The painting exudes an air of mourning and sadness while symbolizing patriotism and allegiance to one's homeland. It serves as an allegory for the historical struggles faced by these French regions. The artist skillfully portrays the orphaned child as a symbol of innocence amidst turmoil, representing both Alsace and Lorraine with equal significance. This evokes feelings of empathy towards their shared fate and emphasizes brotherhood between these two territories. Through his masterful brushstrokes, Lesrel conveys not only the sorrow but also highlights the resilience found within childhood. The painting speaks volumes about friendship among siblings during challenging times. Leonard de Selva has expertly captured this remarkable artwork through his lens, preserving its historical value for generations to come. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to 19th-century France where art played a crucial role in depicting national identity. This print is more than just a visual representation; it encapsulates emotions tied to French history while honoring Alsace-Lorraine's unique cultural heritage.
