EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic statue "The Burghers of Calais" by Rodin, proudly standing in front of the Town Hall in Calais, France. Bathed in warm sunlight under a clear blue sky, this magnificent sculpture commands attention and tells a powerful story. The image captures the essence of European history and culture with its stunning architectural backdrop featuring a clock tower and steeple. The juxtaposition between the contemporary statue and the historical landmarks creates an intriguing visual contrast. "The Burghers of Calais" depicts six men who bravely offered their lives to save their city during the Hundred Years' War. Their solemn expressions and strong profiles are beautifully captured from a low angle view, emphasizing their determination and sacrifice. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness this significant moment in French history. The artistry behind Rodin's creation is evident as each detail is brought to life through David Hughes/Robert Harding's skillful photography. This print serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and reminds us that even amidst turmoil, acts of bravery can shape our future. It invites us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind Rodin's work and the rich cultural tapestry that Europe has to offer.
