EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Arc de Triomphe in all its grandeur. Located at the Place de l'Etoile in Paris, this neoclassical masterpiece was designed by Jean Chalgrin to pay homage to the monumental architecture of Ancient Rome. Commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte himself in 1806, it stands as a symbol of his victory at the Battle of Austerlitz. The photograph showcases the opening ceremony held on April 20,1848, where crowds gathered to celebrate and commemorate this historic moment. The image depicts a sea of people proudly waving flags, their faces filled with pride and patriotism for their country. The Arc de Triomphe's archway serves as a powerful reminder of France's triumphs throughout history. Its intricate sculptures and detailed reliefs tell stories of battles fought and victories won. This architectural feature has become an enduring landmark that represents French nationalism and resilience. Lipperheide skillfully captured this scene with his camera lens, preserving a significant moment in time for future generations to admire. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to that day in 1848 when Parisians came together to honor their past while looking towards a brighter future. It serves as a testament not only to Napoleon's legacy but also to the enduring power of art and architecture in shaping our collective memory.
