Giuseppe Garibaldi: A Revolutionary Hero Giuseppe Garibaldi, an iconic figure of the 19th century, was a prominent Italian patriot and military leader. Born in 1807 and passing away in 1882, his legacy continues to inspire generations with his unwavering dedication to the cause of Italian unification. Garibaldi's determination is vividly captured in "Garibaldi on Horseback, " a powerful oil painting from 1860. Mounted on his trusty steed, he led his troops fearlessly into battle during the tumultuous times of the Risorgimento. One such instance was depicted in "The Zouaves took one of the barricades by a dashing bayonet charge. " This courageous act exemplified Garibaldi's leadership skills as he inspired his men to victory against formidable foes. However, not everyone shared admiration for Garibaldi's endeavors. In a satirical cartoon titled "Poor Taxpayer. . Thank the Empire, " published in Le Sans Culotte in 1879, critics questioned the cost of wars fought under Napoleon III's Second Empire (1852-70). Despite criticism, Garibaldi remained an influential figure throughout Italy. The marble bust created in 1875 immortalizes his likeness and serves as a reminder of his significant contributions to Italian history. His famous Redshirts are also celebrated through art like "Redshirts" painted in 1898. These volunteer fighters symbolized unity and liberation during Italy's struggle for independence. Another remarkable moment etched into history is depicted through sculpture - "Portrait of Giuseppe Garibaldi. " This artwork captures both strength and determination that defined him as an individual committed to achieving freedom for Italy. A pivotal event occurred during the meeting at Teano between Victor Emmanuel II and Giuseppe Garibaldi on October 26th, 1860. Known as The Meeting of Teano, it marked a significant step towards the unification of Italy.
