EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the "Taking of Laghouat by General Pelissier" on December 4th, 1852. Painted by Jean Adolphe Beauce in 1853, this oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 255x384 cm and is currently housed at the Château de Versailles in France. The scene portrays the intense colonial war and conquest that took place during this period. The French army can be seen launching a fierce assault on Laghouat, an oasis nestled within the Algerian Sahara. Soldiers clad in zouave uniforms fight valiantly against their opponents, rifles and bayonets at the ready. Amidst the chaos of battle, wounded soldiers lie scattered across the rocky landscape while others engage in hand-to-hand combat. The painting also features General Aimable Pélissier (1794-1864), later known as Duc de Malakoff, who played a significant role in this military operation. This powerful image serves as a reminder of North African colonialism and its impact on both sides involved. It showcases not only the bravery and determination of those fighting for conquest but also highlights the devastating consequences of such conflicts with scenes of wounded and dying soldiers. As we observe this historical masterpiece captured through black-and-white photography by Fine Art Finder from www. bridgemanimages. com, it prompts us to reflect upon our shared past and consider how it has shaped our present world.
