EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A living avalanche" by Achille Beltrame depicts a dramatic scene of chaos and terror. In the image, almost two thousand sheep can be seen rushing down a steep mountain towards Pescorocchiano in Umbria, Italy. The sheep have been caught in collective terror, causing them to fall into a confused cluster on the road after making a ten-meter jump. The photograph captures the sheer magnitude of this unexpected event, with the fallen sheep piling up and creating an enormous heap. Amidst this chaotic scene, we see a brave shepherd boy running alongside the flock, risking his own safety to guide them. Unfortunately, this daring act results in tragedy as one hundred sheep lose their lives during this accident. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday on July 9th, 1933 showcases his talent for capturing both drama and humor simultaneously. The image not only portrays the intensity of nature's power but also highlights the resilience and dedication of shepherds who care for their flocks. This artwork serves as a reminder of how unpredictable life can be and emphasizes our connection to nature's forces. It is an extraordinary portrayal that combines elements of biblical scenes with rural landscapes while evoking feelings of awe and admiration for these fearless shepherds facing adversity head-on.
