Batailles

Sophie Guerrive's teeming and fascinating style is on full display in this large illustration she created on a roll of paper, which depicts the history of the world from its origins through a variety of fights, brawls, battles, and skirmishes. We recognize both real and imagined episodes: the creation of humankind by the inhabitants of an extraterrestrial Atlantis, the Trojan War, the Inquisition, World War I, and more. One could spend hours observing it and feasting one's eyes on it.
