EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "German flag carried to the Invalides" by Jean Beraud, captures a moment in time during the early 1910s in Paris, France. The scene unfolds on a bustling city street, with the iconic Hotel National des Invalides and the dome of Les Invalides visible in the background. A crowd has gathered, drawn by the spectacle of two boys proudly carrying a large German flag towards the historic institution. Dressed in their Sunday best, they appear determined and unphased by the curious onlookers, who have gathered around them, some taking in the scene with a mix of fascination and apprehension. The boys, one holding the flag aloft, the other steadying the makeshift pole made of a hoop and stick, are oblivious to the passing traffic, which includes several automobiles and horse-drawn carriages. The juxtaposition of the old and the new, the traditional and the modern, adds to the intrigue of the scene. The use of oil on board technique lends a rich, warm color palette to the painting, capturing the essence of a bygone era. The boys' faces are filled with a sense of purpose and adventure, as they make their way through the city, carrying their national symbol. This painting, now housed in the Musee Carnavalet in Paris, is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve moments of historical significance.
