EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense bombardment and fire of the city of Algiers in 1682. Abraham Marquis Duquesne, a distinguished officer of the French navy, gazes from his ship at the devastating effect produced by the bombs galiotes. The chromotypography illustration was featured in "Le Roy Soleil" (Louis XIV) by Gustave Toutwelve and beautifully brought to life by Maurice Leloir in 1904. The image showcases Duquesne's commanding presence as he witnesses the destruction unfolding before him. His resolute expression reflects both determination and concern for the outcome of this military campaign. As an integral part of France's naval forces, Duquesne plays a crucial role in this historic event. The scene is filled with chaos and turmoil, as flames engulf buildings and billowing smoke fills the air. The artist masterfully depicts every detail, capturing not only the destructive power but also its impact on both sides involved. This artwork offers a glimpse into a significant moment in history when France sought to assert its dominance over Algiers. It serves as a reminder of how conflicts shape nations and leave lasting imprints on their landscapes. As we observe this powerful image today, it prompts us to reflect on past events while appreciating art's ability to convey historical narratives vividly.
