A Takeover in the Eastern Mediterranean
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a pivotal moment in history through Achille Beltrame's vibrant colour lithograph. The image depicts Italian sailors proudly hoisting their tricolor flag on the island of Castellorizo, which had been occupied by France but was assigned to Italy under the Treaty of Sevres. The scene exudes patriotism and nationalistic fervour as the Italian navy claims its rightful territory amidst a backdrop of azure waters and rocky cliffs. The sailors stand tall, embodying the spirit of their homeland as they raise their flag high on a towering pole. Their actions symbolize not only military conquest but also an assertion of national identity and pride. Beltrame's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life, capturing every nuance from the expressions on the sailors' faces to the texture of their uniforms. Through his skilled illustration, he transports us back to 1921 when tensions ran high in this strategic region. This print serves as a reminder that history is often shaped by territorial disputes and political negotiations. It showcases how flags can become powerful symbols representing sovereignty, sacrifice, and determination. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the bravery and dedication displayed by these Italian mariners who fought for their country's interests in one corner of the vast Mediterranean Sea.
