EDITORS COMMENTS
Deathly Wounded (Colour Litho) captures the harrowing reality of war and the immense bravery displayed by soldiers on the battlefield. In this poignant image, created by Achille Beltrame, we witness a lieutenant colonel who has been mortally wounded uttering his last words: 'The position. . . the position. . . !' As he is being carried away from the frontlines, his fellow soldiers present him with their weapons as a final salute, despite being under heavy fire themselves. Luigi Barzini's description of this scene in Courier Sunday further emphasizes the gravity of the situation. Death looms over them all, yet these courageous men continue to fight valiantly against insurmountable odds. The image showcases not only their heroism but also highlights the devastating consequences of warfare. The composition is filled with powerful symbolism; attention is drawn to both fallen comrades and explosions in the background, reminding us of the countless lives lost during World War One. The juxtaposition between life and death is striking as soldiers carry bayonets while surrounded by corpses. Beltrame's illustration serves as a stark reminder that war knows no boundaries or gender distinctions. It depicts an intense battle scene where male and female combat troops confront each other with equal determination. This print from Fine Art Finder encapsulates both tragedy and courage within its frame—a testament to those who sacrificed everything for their countries.
