Aghast Esquisse Horror Marianne Terror
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a close-up view of "The Marseillaise" a plaster sculpture created by Francois Rude between 1832 and 1835. The artwork, measuring 68x65 cm, is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. "The Marseillaise" is a study for the head that adorns the famous Arc de Triomphe in Paris. This powerful sculpture depicts Marianne, the symbol of the French Revolution, with an expression of horror and terror on her face. Her mouth is wide open as if she is screaming or singing passionately. The artist skillfully captures Marianne's emotions through intricate details such as her furrowed brows and intense gaze. The rough texture of the plaster adds depth to this evocative piece. Rude's "The Marseillaise" serves as a reminder of the revolutionary spirit that swept across France during that time period. It represents not only the fight for freedom but also conveys a sense of unity among its people. As we admire this esquisse (sketch) captured by www. bridgemanimages. com, we can't help but be moved by Marianne's expression - it speaks volumes about the tumultuous era she represents. This photograph allows us to appreciate both Rude's artistic talent and his ability to convey raw human emotion through his work.
