EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Polish Epic, 1917 (stone)" by Emile-Antoine Bourdelle. The artwork, housed in the Musee Bourdelle in Paris, France, is a maquette for the central section of the monument dedicated to Adam Mickiewicz. Erected in 1929 at Cours Albert Ier near Place de l'Alma, this monument pays tribute to Mickiewicz - a renowned Polish poet, writer, and patriot. In this image, we see an allegorical figure representing Poland herself. With a sword held high and wings spread wide, she exudes strength and determination. This powerful nude figure symbolizes the struggle and defense of Poland against adversity throughout history. Bourdelle's sculpture captures both the physical beauty of Poland as well as her indomitable spirit. The artist masterfully portrays her resilience and unwavering commitment to freedom. "The Polish Epic" serves as a commemorative homage to Mickiewicz's profound influence on Polish culture and his role in fostering national pride during challenging times. It stands not only as a testament to his legacy but also as an enduring symbol of unity for all Poles. This remarkable photograph allows us to appreciate Bourdelle's artistic genius while providing insight into the historical significance behind "The Polish Epic". It invites viewers to reflect upon Poland's rich heritage and its ongoing pursuit of liberty amidst adversity.
