Artois, a region in northern France, holds a rich and diverse history that spans centuries. From the bustling streets of Brussels' Place de la Bourse to the grandeur of Boulevard Anspach, it has witnessed countless stories unfold. Intriguingly, even art itself has been intertwined with Artois. The exquisite alabaster sculpture of the Mourner from the Tomb of Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, transports us back to 1404-10 when craftsmanship flourished. The storming of the trenches round Loos depicted by Fortunino Matania captures a momentous event during World War I. It reminds us of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by soldiers on both sides. Delving further into history, we encounter members of royalty like the French Royal Family in 1814. The Count stands proudly among them as they navigate through an era filled with political turmoil and change. Moving forward in time yet again, Kevin Curren's artistic prowess shines through his work. His talent encapsulates not only landscapes like Cap Gris Nez but also historical events such as the Battle of Guinegate in 1479. General Petain's commanding presence on Verdun's front cover illustration evokes memories from World War I when he led troops with unwavering determination. This image serves as a reminder that leaders can shape destinies during times of conflict. Even children are partakers in Artois' narrative; their innocence juxtaposed against royal lineage is beautifully portrayed within paintings depicting King Charles Philippe's offspring. Artistic expression extends beyond traditional mediums too - decorative plates from Desvres showcase intricate designs originating from this very region. These pieces serve as tangible reminders connecting us to Artois' cultural heritage and craftsmanship traditions. Finally, Willows and Farmhouse at Sainte-Catherine-les-Arras transports viewers to rural landscapes painted on canvas in 1871.
