EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph by Achille Beltrame depicts a dramatic scene from World War I. Titled "As an attempt at a night surprise was paid, the Austrians, rejected, fall from the top. . . ", the artwork showcases the intense warfare between Italian and Austrian soldiers in the snowy alpine mountains. In this illustration for Courier Sunday, dated 27 February-5 March 1916, we witness an unsuccessful nighttime assault by Austrian troops. The dark uniformed soldiers can be seen falling from their desired conquest as they are fiercely repelled by their Italian counterparts. The chilling cold and snowfall add to the harshness of this battle scene. Beltrame's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of both sides armed with rifles and guns. The mountainous terrain serves as a treacherous backdrop for this deadly confrontation. As casualties mount on both sides, death becomes an ever-present reality amidst these high peaks. The artist masterfully captures not only the physical clash between opposing forces but also conveys the emotional toll of war through his skillful use of light and shadow. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during World War I and highlights Beltrame's talent as an illustrator capturing such poignant moments in history.
