EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Waiting for the Enemy" by Hans Smidth, taken in 1893, transports us back to a significant moment in history. The full-length image showcases a group of men standing outside a rural house, their military uniforms hinting at the impending war. The architectural details of the house add depth and character to the scene. As our eyes wander through this 19th-century tableau, we notice a large group of animals surrounding these brave soldiers. A loyal dog stands faithfully beside them, embodying loyalty and protection. A domestic cat lurks nearby, adding an air of mystery and intrigue. The composition captures the tension and anticipation that comes with waiting for battle. These men are prepared for what lies ahead; their stoic expressions reveal both determination and apprehension. It is evident that they have formed a strong bond as comrades-in-arms during this tumultuous time. Through this illustration-like painting brought to life by Hans Smidth's skilled hand, we gain insight into Danish culture during this era marked by conflict. The open-air setting emphasizes the vastness of nature against which human struggles unfold. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and pays homage to those who have fought bravely before us – reminding us never to forget their sacrifices or take our freedom for granted.
