EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The French Army Landing at Civita-Vecchia, April 25, 1849," is a masterpiece by the renowned French artist Auguste Raffet from his collection "Souvenirs d'Italie: Expedition de Rome, 1851." The image portrays a pivotal moment in the Italian Wars, as the French Army, led by General Nicolas Charles Oudinot, Duke of Reggio, arrives at the coast of Civita-Vecchia in the Roman Province of Lazio, Italy. The boats filled with soldiers are shown making their way ashore, with the Duke leading the way, as onlookers watch from the cliffs above. Raffet, known for his meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of a scene, expertly conveys the excitement and anticipation of the landing. The black and white lithograph on buff wove china paper, laid down on ivory, showcases the vast expanse of the sea and the rugged terrain of the Italian coastline. The large group of men, dressed in their military uniforms, add a sense of grandeur and power to the image. The arrival of the French Army marked a significant turning point in the Italian Wars, as the Roman Republic was eventually overthrown, leading to the establishment of the Papal States. This historical artwork provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the events and people of the time. The image is a must-see for anyone with an interest in history, art, or military history, and is a valuable addition to any collection or gallery.
