In the destroyed Museum of the former citadel at Dinant, an industrial city in the Belgian province of Namur, Richard Müller was fascinated by the tangle of overturned armor and barriers, as well as fallen soldiers whose limbs were scattered around the room. Here, too, the painstakingly-noted details and strong contrasts in the image take on an artistic life of their own, going far beyond the work of a typical war correspondent. Thanks to the artist‘s graphic sophistication, the events are captured almost photo-realistically; yet in its motifs, the scene is evocative of 19th century tastes, when armories were a recurring theme. These reminiscences characterize Richard Müller as a connoisseur of the Old Masters‘ vocabulary as well.
