The Plays of the Alps
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and dramatic print that captures a thrilling rescue mission in the treacherous Dolomite mountains. This color lithograph, created by Achille Beltrame in 1926, depicts a heart-stopping moment on the Sella Group where a young lady finds herself hanging perilously on the edge of an abyss. Her partner, descending into Canazei to seek help, embarks on two daring expeditions to save her. The image showcases the bravery and determination of these alpine climbers as they navigate steep cliffs and frozen crevices. The Italian mountaineers battle against falling snows and freezing temperatures to reach their goal. Equipped with picks and ropes, they risk their lives to rescue their companion from certain doom. Beltrame's illustration beautifully captures both the danger and beauty of this alpine scene. The rugged rock formations contrast with the pristine white snow-covered peaks, creating a breathtaking backdrop for this life-or-death situation. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the incredible challenges faced by mountaineers in pursuit of adventure and conquest. It also highlights themes such as teamwork, perseverance, and courage in extreme circumstances. "The Plays of the Alps" is not just an artistic masterpiece; it is also an homage to those who push themselves beyond limits in pursuit of their passion for climbing mountains.
