La part de la douleur; au soir du 'jour de Gloire' - le pelerinage pieux des peres... 1919
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The share of sorrow; on the eve of the 'Day of Glory': the pilgrimage of the devout fathers... 1919), is a poignant lithograph by the renowned French artist J. Simont (Josep Simont i Guillen). This powerful image captures the somber mood of Paris on the eve of the 'Day of Glory', a commemorative event marking the end of the First World War. The photograph depicts a crowd of mourning fathers, clad in black, making their way to the Cenotaph at the Place de l'Etoile and the Champs-Elysees, bringing flowers to honor their fallen sons. The Avenue des Champs-Elysees, once a symbol of national pride and joy, now stands as a solemn reminder of the immense sacrifice made by the country. The image is filled with a sense of loss and longing, as fathers, some with their wives and children in tow, make their way to the monument to pay their respects to the deceased. The fallen leaves and plants at the base of the Cenotaph add to the melancholic atmosphere, as nature itself seems to mourn the loss of life. The black and white composition of the photograph adds to its somber tone, reflecting the post-war sentiment of loss, grief, and remembrance. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the profound impact it had on families and communities. J. Simont's 'La part de la douleur; au soir du 'jour de Gloire': le pelerinage pieux des peres... 1919' is a poignant and powerful testament to the human spirit and the enduring bond between parents and their children. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the human spirit remains resilient, and the memory of those who have fallen lives on in the hearts and minds of their loved ones.
