EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative watercolor painting, titled "Les Diables Bleus," captures a moment of respite for a group of Chasseurs Alpins, or Blue Devils, during the harsh winter of the First World War. The soldiers huddle together behind a large boulder in the Alps, seeking shelter from the relentless snowstorm. The scene is brought to life by the skilled brushstrokes of Pierre Comba (1859-1934), a renowned French artist dedicated to the representation of the military, particularly the Chasseurs Alpins. At the time of the Great War, Comba's watercolors were widely reproduced as postcards, immortalizing the bravery and tenacity of the Blue Devils. A member of both the Society of Military Painters and the French Alpine Club, Comba was a recipient of the Palmes Académiques, an honor bestowed upon him by the French government for his outstanding achievements in the arts. Deeply involved in charities dealing with soldiers in Nice and the Alpes-Maritimes region, Comba's commitment to the military extended beyond his art. This poignant painting serves as a testament to the resilience and camaraderie of the soldiers who fought in the treacherous Alpine terrain during the First World War. The Blue Devils, with their distinctive blue uniforms and fearsome reputation, continue to be celebrated as a symbol of French military valor.
