EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "An attack in St Peters in Rome, an Istrian bricklayer who shoots priests at the entrance. . " by Achille Beltrame depicts a shocking incident that unfolded within the sacred walls of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. This color lithograph, now part of a private collection, vividly captures the chaos and terror that ensued when an Istrian bricklayer unleashed violence upon unsuspecting priests. Illustrated for Courier Sunday on April 16-23,1911, this image showcases the moment when the assailant opened fire at the entrance to the chapel of canons. The scene is filled with religious figures adorned in ceremonial lace robes and vestments, emphasizing their vulnerability as they become targets of this heinous crime. This artwork not only portrays a criminal act but also delves into political undertones as it highlights tensions between different factions within Italy during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how even places considered sanctuaries can be shattered by acts of violence. Beltrame's attention to detail brings forth every aspect of this tragic event – from architectural elements like monuments and cannons to religious symbols such as crosses and Bibles. Through his skillful illustration, he immortalizes this dark chapter in history while shedding light on themes surrounding religion, power dynamics, and human nature. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking piece, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience inherent within our society – prompting us to reflect on our shared humanity and strive for peace amidst turmoil.
