  1. "The Arch," Henry Ossawa Tanner, 1919.

    The great Black American artist Tanner (1859-1937) painted this scene not long after a huge ceremony at Paris' Arc de Triomphe to commemorate those who died fighting in WWI.

    Born in Pittsburgh to an educated family, he studied art there and in Philadelphia, being taught by luminaries like Thomas Eakins. However, he faced racism in the US, and in 1891 he took off for Europe, eventually settling in Paris.

    The French accepted him with open arms. He worked with the Red Cross during WWI, and depicted Black soldiers in his works during the period. This was painted after the war was over, and many in France found it a moving work. He received the Legion of Honor in 1923.

    From the Brooklyn Museum.

  11. Architectural Delight: Arc de Triomphe, Paris, France.

    Before Arc de Triomphe became one of the world’s most famous monuments, Paris nearly built something completely different in its place: a gigantic hollow elephant. An 18th-century architect imagined a three-story elephant with rooms inside and water spraying from its trunk like a fountain. Instead, Napoleon Bonaparte commissioned the Arc de Triomphe in 1806 to celebrate French military victories.

    But even Napoleon never saw it finished. Construction dragged on for nearly 30 years, so for his 1810 wedding procession, workers built a full-size wooden replica just so he could pass beneath it. The monument’s dramatic history continued long after: in 1919, a fearless French pilot flew a biplane straight through the arch.

    The monument also serves as a memorial site, with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and an eternal flame burning beneath the arch and today, military parades still march around the monument out of respect.
