EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the devastating aftermath of the Como International Exhibition, which was tragically destroyed by a fierce and explosive fire. The image focuses on the main facade of the exhibition building, engulfed in raging flames that consume every inch of its structure. The once grand and imposing edifice now lies in ruins, wrecked and burnt out. The scene is incredibly dramatic, with the vibrant red flames illuminating the night sky and casting an eerie glow over the destruction. The artist Achille Beltrame skillfully depicts this disastrous event with meticulous detail, showcasing his talent as an illustrator. The Como International Exhibition was known for its grandeur and showcased various exhibits from around the world. However, on this fateful day captured in this print - Sunday, July 16th, 1899 - it fell victim to a destructive force that left nothing but devastation in its wake. As we gaze upon this engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but feel a sense of awe at both the power of nature's elements and human vulnerability. It serves as a reminder that even our most impressive creations are not immune to destruction. This lithograph stands as a testament to history's ability to capture moments of tragedy alongside moments of triumph. It allows us to reflect on past events while appreciating our own resilience in rebuilding what has been lost.
