Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret - The Conscripts - 1889 - French conscripts into the army marching behind a boy bearing the national flag and drummer.
some modern history works, of which the most famous is Conscripts (1889). This shows a group of young men who have just been conscripted into the army, marching behind a very non-military drummer and a boy bearing the national flag. The conscripts walk with their arms linked to express their solidarity. Dagnan-Bouveret delayed exhibiting this painting for two years, then in 1891 it stole the show at the re-organised Salon run by the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. It became a runaway success, and a focus for French nationalism - The Eclectic Light Company
