EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a poignant moment in history - the Bastille Day parade of 1919, where wounded French World War I veterans proudly marched through the streets of Paris. Painted with incredible detail and emotion by Jean Galtier-Boissiere, this gouache artwork pays tribute to the brave soldiers who sacrificed their bodies for their country. In this image, we see a procession of men with various injuries - some wearing arm bands or bandages, others using crutches or wheelchairs. Despite their visible wounds and disabilities, these veterans march on with determination and pride. Their presence in the parade is a testament to their resilience and unwavering patriotism. The artist's use of vibrant colors adds depth to the scene, contrasting against the somber subject matter. The Arc de Triomphe stands tall in the background as a symbol of victory and national unity. This print serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during World War I and honors those who fought bravely for their country. It is an emotional portrayal that evokes both admiration for these courageous individuals and reflection on the devastating impact war has on lives. Displaying this artwork would not only be an appreciation for fine art but also a way to pay homage to our veterans' sacrifice and remind us never to forget their service.
