EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Chariot Of Mars" by Merry Joseph Blondel, takes us back to the 18th century in France. The image showcases a horse-drawn chariot, possibly part of a grand procession celebrating the marriage of the Dauphin of France to Marie-Josephe de Saxe in 1747. The intricate details captured in this monochrome masterpiece transport us to a time when road transport was dominated by these majestic animals. The whip-wielding driver guides the horses with precision as they pull the magnificent chariot along. It is evident that this vehicle holds great significance, perhaps representing religious or cultural symbolism. As we delve into French history through this photograph, we are reminded of the country's deep-rooted connection with religion and mythology. The presence of Mars, the Roman god of war and guardian deity for soldiers, adds an intriguing layer to this scene. This divine association suggests that this chariot may have been used for ceremonial purposes or even as a symbol of power and protection. Merry Joseph Blondel's expert craftsmanship shines through in every brushstroke captured on paper. Through his artistry, he immortalizes not only an era but also evokes curiosity about its customs and traditions. This print serves as a visual portal into centuries past – where gods were worshipped fervently and horse-drawn carriages ruled the roads.
