Bombarding Cannon Fire Morocco Paddlesteamer Siege
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and chaotic scene of the "Bombardment of Sale" that took place on November 26th, 1851. Painted by Jean Antoine Theodore Gudin in 1855, this oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 160x284 cm and is housed at the Château de Versailles in France. The painting depicts a dramatic battle unfolding along the Moroccan coast. The hillside city of Sale is under siege as cannon fire erupts from paddle steamers stationed in the harbor. Thick smoke billows into the sky as boats and ships navigate through chaos, adding to the sense of destruction and turmoil. Gudin's attention to detail brings this historical event to life. The burning buildings within Sale showcase the devastating impact of war, while capturing both its violence and tragedy. The river Bou Regreg flows calmly amidst this chaos, serving as a stark contrast to the surrounding mayhem. This powerful image serves as a reminder of past conflicts and their consequences. It transports viewers back in time, allowing them to witness firsthand one moment during Morocco's turbulent history. As we observe this artwork today, it stands not only as a testament to Gudin's artistic talent but also as a visual record of an important chapter in global history.
