EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense speed race of motorboats between Anzio and Fiumicino. In the midst of the exhilarating competition, tragedy strikes as the Aeolus, carrying journalists on board, rips open and begins to sink. The illustration was originally created by Achille Beltrame for Courier Sunday in August 1911. The image showcases a dramatic scene at sea, with flags fluttering in the wind and boats rushing to aid their fellow sailors. As chaos ensues, brave individuals can be seen bailing water and rescuing those stranded in the sinking vessel. The Italian flag proudly waves amidst this maritime crisis. Beltrame's skillful use of color lithography brings life to this historical event, highlighting both the rapidity of the race and the urgency of rescue efforts. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element depicted – from seamen working tirelessly to save lives to tugboats coming to assist. This artwork serves as a reminder of humanity's resilience in times of perilous situations at sea. It portrays not only a tragic incident but also emphasizes how people come together during such crises, offering helping hands when needed most. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by Beltrame over a century ago, we are reminded that even amidst disaster, acts of heroism and compassion shine through like beacons on stormy waters.
