EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Pontoneer of the French Foreign Legion, taken by Coppetiers on November 23rd, 1792. The image is a coloured engraving created by Gregorius, Albertus and is currently housed at the Musee de l'Armee in Brussels, Belgium. The Pontoneer depicted in this artwork stands proudly in his uniform, representing the strength and bravery of the French army during that time period. His attire reflects the distinctive style worn by soldiers of the Legion Franche Etrangere. What makes this particular piece even more intriguing is its connection to historical events. It was discovered as part of a diary chronicling eyewitness accounts of significant happenings in Bruges. This adds an extra layer of depth to the image, allowing viewers to imagine what stories and experiences this soldier may have encountered during his service. The artist's attention to detail shines through in every stroke of this engraving. From the intricate design on his uniform to the expression on his face, it feels as though we are transported back in time witnessing history unfold before our eyes. This print from Fine Art Finder captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of those who dedicated their lives to protect their country and uphold its values.
