EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and dynamic lithograph captures a pivotal moment in Abyssinian history. Titled "Serious events in Abyssinia, the Scioan leaders, in the presence of the Abuna, proclaim the decadence. . . ", this artwork by Achille Beltrame depicts a group of Shoan leaders gathered together, surrounded by an atmosphere charged with tension and anticipation. Dressed in traditional Abyssinian garments, these African leaders engage in a passionate discussion about the state of their empire. Their animated gestures and expressive faces convey their deep concern for their nation's future. The central figure sits confidently as he addresses his fellow leaders while being observed by the Abuna, adding an air of authority to their deliberations. The artist skillfully captures both the dramatic nature of this political gathering and its historical significance. This illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday between 3-10 April 1910, shedding light on Ethiopia's struggle during that time period. Beltrame's use of color adds depth and intensity to this scene. The vibrant hues evoke a sense of urgency and emphasize the gravity of their conversation. The composition itself is filled with movement as each leader expresses themselves passionately through shouts and cheers. Overall, this print serves as a powerful reminder of Africa's rich history and its ongoing fight for independence against colonial powers. It stands as a testament to the strength and resilience exhibited by African nations throughout centuries-long struggles for self-determination.
