Peace? (colour litho) by Achille Beltrame - A Haunting Depiction of the Illusionary Nature of Peace
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this thought-provoking artwork, Achille Beltrame captures the essence of a profound question that has plagued humanity throughout history - "Peace?". Created as an illustration for Courier Sunday on 25th June 1905, this powerful image continues to resonate with its viewers. The scene unfolds amidst a battlefield strewn with fallen soldiers and flags representing Russia and Japan. At the heart of this chaotic landscape stands an angelic figure, her wings spread wide in symbolic representation. With a sorrowful expression upon her face, she gazes down at the lifeless bodies surrounding her. Beltrame's composition juxtaposes elements of death and destruction with symbols traditionally associated with peace. The olive branch held delicately in the angel's hand serves as a stark reminder that even amidst conflict, hope for reconciliation persists. The artist skillfully employs color to convey contrasting emotions; vibrant hues symbolize life while white represents death. This dichotomy is further emphasized through the presence of rifles scattered across the ground – instruments designed to bring both victory and demise. Through his meticulous attention to detail, Beltrame prompts us to reflect on our own notions of peace. Is it merely an illusion or can it truly be achieved? As we observe this poignant image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that true peace requires more than mere gestures or symbols; it necessitates genuine understanding and empathy between nations and individuals alike.
