The News of Sport, The Water Ball
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and lively lithograph by Achille Beltrame that captures the essence of entertainment and competition. Measuring an impressive four and a half meters in diameter, this artwork showcases two factions of bathers engaged in a thrilling battle on the water ball's hemispheres. With their costumes clinging to the knobs distributed on the ball, men and women alike climb, pull, and fight with great enthusiasm to keep their opponents submerged. The atmosphere is filled with cheerful clamors as both teams strive to emerge victorious from this comical contest. Beltrame's illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday on 3rd October 1926. It beautifully depicts Italians enjoying leisure time by engaging in unconventional sports activities. The scene features balloons floating above the river while swimmers clad in bathing suits demonstrate their mountaineering skills. This artwork not only highlights the joyous spirit of recreation but also showcases Beltrame's talent as an illustrator. His attention to detail brings out each character's unique costume design, adding an element of fancy dress to this entertaining spectacle. "The News of Sport, The Water Ball" is a testament to human ingenuity when it comes to finding enjoyment even within seemingly ordinary settings like rivers or oceans. It reminds us that sport can be found anywhere if we are willing to embrace our playful side and make use of our surroundings creatively.
