La République de la Victoire
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Republic of Victory) is a powerful and evocative sculpture created by Leon-Ernest Drivier in 1916. This photograph captures the intricate details of the bust, which depicts a proud and regal woman wearing ancient Greek armor and holding a rooster. The woman is identified as Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, courage, and victory. The sculpture is a tribute to the spirit of France during World War I, a time of great turmoil and hardship. Athena, or Pallas Athene as she is also known, is a symbol of strength and resilience, and her presence in the sculpture serves as a reminder of the pride and determination of the French people during the war. The bust is adorned with intricate details, including a bodice made of interlocking scales, a helmet with a crest of feathers, and a cloak that flows behind her. The rooster, a symbol of victory in ancient Rome, is held in her right hand, while her left hand rests on her hip, adding to the sense of confidence and power. The photograph is from the "Collection de la Guerre IV" (Collection of War IV) and was published in the French magazine "L'Illustration" in 1916. The image captures the bust in profile, with Athena looking away from the viewer, adding to the sense of introspection and contemplation. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the spirit of a time and place, and to remind us of the courage and determination of those who lived through it. The Republic of Victory stands as a symbol of hope and resilience, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always the possibility of triumph.
