EDITORS COMMENTS
Calm Night at Curlin" is a captivating and evocative oil painting by the French artist Jean-Jacques Berne-Bellecour, created in 1918 during the tumultuous period of World War I. The serene image stands in stark contrast to the chaos and destruction that was unfolding across Europe at the time. The painting depicts a tranquil night scene along the banks of the River Curlin in France. The water's surface is calm and still, reflecting the moonlit sky above. The gentle glow of the moon casts a silvery sheen on the water, while the trees along the riverbank are illuminated by the soft light. The peaceful scene is further enhanced by the absence of any signs of human presence, leaving the viewer with a sense of solitude and contemplation. Despite being created during a time of war, there is no overt reference to the conflict in the painting. However, the use of muted colors and the somber mood suggest a sense of introspection and reflection, perhaps reflecting the artist's own thoughts and feelings during this turbulent period. Jean-Jacques Berne-Bellecour (1874-1939) was a prolific French painter and printmaker, known for his topographical and historical works. He served in the French military during World War I, and his experiences during the war undoubtedly influenced his artistic style and subject matter. This painting, "Calm Night at Curlin," is a testament to the power of art to transport us to another place and time, offering a moment of respite and reflection amidst the chaos of history. This beautiful print is a reminder of the enduring beauty of the natural world, even in the midst of adversity, and a poignant reminder of the human capacity for introspection and reflection, even in the most challenging of times.
