EDITORS COMMENTS
In the bay of Villefranche, a vibrant scene unfolds as a ball takes place on board the majestic warship, Formidable. This colour lithograph by Henri Meyer captures the essence of 19th-century French naval culture and transports us back to an era filled with elegance and grandeur. The bustling harbour is adorned with flags proudly displaying the tricolour emblem of France, symbolizing national pride and unity. Boats dotting the tranquil Mediterranean sea add to the picturesque charm of Villefranche, a coastal town known for its beauty. The Formidable stands tall in all her glory, showcasing her might as a battleship. Her presence commands attention and evokes awe among those who witness her magnificence. As passengers are transported to this floating ballroom aboard tugboats, they become part of an enchanting world where music fills the air and laughter echoes across the waves. This print serves as a visual portal into history, offering glimpses into French maritime traditions and cultural heritage. It reminds us of an era when ships were not just modes of transport but symbols of power and national identity. With meticulous detail and artistic finesse, Henri Meyer brings this momentous event to life through his skilful brushstrokes. The composition exudes vibrancy while capturing both the excitement on board and serenity surrounding it. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from our private collection, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand one unforgettable night in Villefranche's bay.
