Vluchtende mensen komen aan bij Hanau 1796

"Vluchtende mensen komen aan bij Hanau" (1796) by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, depicts a scene of refugees arriving in Hanau, Germany. The etching, part of a larger series documenting the plight of refugees fleeing the French Revolution, showcases the artist's keen observation of human suffering and the chaotic conditions of wartime displacement. The composition, with its focus on the densely packed crowd and their expressions of weariness and despair, evokes a sense of urgency and human resilience.
