EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Non-Commissioned Officer and Soldiers of the Volhynie Regiment (Imperial Guard), Camp Vosnessensk, 1842-44," is an evocative depiction of military life during the 19th century. Created by the renowned French artist Denis Auguste Marie Raffet (1804-1865), this masterpiece showcases the intricacies of the Volhynie Regiment's uniforms and the disciplined posture of its soldiers. The Volhynie Regiment, part of the Imperial Guard of the Russian Army, is depicted encamped at Vosnessensk during the years 1842-44. Raffet expertly captures the essence of the soldiers' daily life, from their meticulously pressed trousers and jackets to the ominous bayonets at the ready. The non-commissioned officer stands proudly among his men, his stern gaze conveying a sense of authority and leadership. This lithograph, created using the lithotint technique on ivory wove paper, is a testament to Raffet's exceptional artistic skill. The black and white composition, with its stark contrasts and intricate details, transports us back in time to an era of warfare and military tradition. The image is a valuable addition to any art collection, offering a unique glimpse into the history of military fashion and the daily life of soldiers during the 19th century. The Volhynie Regiment saw action in various conflicts, including the Crimean War, making this image an important historical document as well as a stunning work of art. Raffet's masterful use of light and shadow, combined with his meticulous attention to detail, make this lithograph a must-have for any art enthusiast or history buff.
