The Chinese Route - A Tragic Retreat Amidst Devastation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful print captures the heart-wrenching scene of the Chinese army's retreat during the Sino-Japanese War. Defeated by relentless bombings and encirclement, they leave behind a trail of destruction and thousands of fallen soldiers. The image, created by Achille Beltrame in 1937 for Courier Sunday, portrays the chaos and despair that engulfed Shanghai. In this vivid illustration, we witness a landscape scarred by warfare as planes strafe from above, dropping bombs that explode with devastating force. The countryside is littered with corpses - a haunting reminder of lives lost in battle. Horses gallop frantically amidst the chaos while other wildlife animals flee for safety. The composition highlights not only the human tragedy but also emphasizes the impact on innocent creatures caught in this brutal conflict. It serves as a poignant reminder of how war affects all living beings within its reach. Beltrame's masterful use of color lithography brings an added dimension to this somber depiction. The vibrant hues juxtaposed against scenes of destruction create a striking contrast that intensifies our emotional response to the image. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, let us remember those who sacrificed their lives and honor their memory. This print serves as both a testament to human resilience and a stark warning about the devastating consequences of war.
