EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases "The Passage on the Rhine" by Charles Le Brun, a renowned French artist of the 17th century. The artwork, executed with pierre noire and red chalk on paper, measures 42.5x77.8 cm and is housed in the Louvre's Cabinet de dessins in Paris. "The Passage on the Rhine" depicts an intense scene from history during the Second Dutch War, where Louis XIV, King of France (1638-1715), led his troops across the mighty Rhine River. The image captures a moment of action as soldiers on horseback traverse through turbulent waters under a radiant sun. Le Brun's meticulous study and preparatory sketching are evident in this drawing, which features squared paper for transfer known as mise au carreau technique. Notably, Adam Frans van der Meulen retouched this piece to enhance its visual impact. With its focus on male figures engaged in battle and military maneuvers, this artwork exudes power and strength. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of significant events during Louis XIV's reign. This remarkable print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Le Brun's mastery while providing insight into one of Europe's most influential periods. Whether you are captivated by art or drawn to history, "The Passage on the Rhine" offers a compelling glimpse into past conflicts that shaped nations and defined rulership.
