EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant photo print, we are transported back to a defining moment in history - the death of Marquis de Montcalm de Saint-Veran. Painted by Jean Antoine Watteau, this masterpiece captures the essence of despair and sacrifice during the Battle of Quebec on September 13,1759. The image showcases a wounded French general lying on a mattress inside a tent, surrounded by chaos and devastation. His pale face reflects his imminent demise as he clutches onto life with all his might. The artist's skillful use of pen & ink wash with bodycolor brings forth an atmosphere filled with tension and sorrow.
