EDITORS COMMENTS
A thrilling display of skill and bravery unfolds at the Chicago Rodeo in this colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame. The image captures a unique competition where cowboys on horseback race towards a two-meter jump, their mounts harnessed and saddled for the challenge ahead. As the intensity builds, one contestant finds himself in need of rescue, picked up by nearby boats amidst the excitement. This extraordinary scene, originally published as an illustration for Courier Sunday on August 19th, 1928, showcases the fusion of traditional American cowboy culture with unexpected elements like rowing boats and open waters. It is a testament to the daring spirit that defines both rodeos and life in America. Beltrame's artistic talent shines through as he masterfully depicts each detail - from the determination etched on the faces of cowboys to the powerful presence of horses navigating through water. The composition evokes a sense of adventure and pushes boundaries beyond what one might expect from such an event. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of America's rich equestrian heritage but also its ability to embrace innovation while staying true to tradition. This artwork serves as a reminder that even in seemingly ordinary competitions, there is always room for extraordinary moments.
