Primarily an illustrator, Andrieux had a penchant for war imagery, a marketable subject in the late 19th century. Spurred by Napoleon III’s attempt to evict Austria from the Piedmont and convert Italy into a confederation of states headed by the pope, he created these drawings in which the personification of War lies across a heap of dead warriors as Death hovers above.
