EDITORS COMMENTS
The Chinese Tragedy (Colour Litho) captures the harrowing scene of panic and warfare during the Cino-Japanese War in 1933. In this powerful image, artist Achille Beltrame portrays the exodus of people from Beijing as Japanese avant-gardes perform reconnaissance flights over the city. The print showcases a chaotic moment as men, women, and children run for cover while fighter aircraft drop bombs on Peking. The fear and feeling of terror are palpable as individuals scramble to find safety under awnings or seek refuge in crowded groups. Beltrame's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of both the physicality and emotions of those caught up in this tragic event. The illustration highlights not only the destructive power of bombing raids but also the resilience and strength displayed by ordinary citizens facing such adversity. As an Italian illustrator, Beltrame brings a unique perspective to this historical event unfolding in Asia. His skillful rendering captures the intensity of war while emphasizing themes such as athleticism, femininity, and teamwork amidst chaos. This print serves as a poignant reminder of past conflicts that have shaped our world history. It invites viewers to reflect on the devastating consequences of war while honoring those who endured unimaginable hardships.
