EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Carbonari at work" offers a glimpse into the clandestine world of the revolutionary secret societies that emerged in 19th-century Italy. The image depicts Giuseppe Mazzini, an influential figure in Italian unification, passionately explaining his plans to establish the Young Italy society to his fellow exiles. Gathered in a dimly lit back room of a Marseilles inn, these men embody determination and patriotism as they discuss their mission. The scene is rich with symbolism and mystery, reflecting the enigmatic nature of Freemasonry and its influence on political movements during this era. The illustration was originally created for Leo Taxil's book "Les Mysteres de la Franc-Maconnerie Devoiles" (The Mysteries of Freemasonry Revealed), adding another layer of intrigue to this historical artwork. Through intricate details and expert craftsmanship, this print transports us back to a time when nationalism and independence were fervently pursued by Italians longing for unity. It serves as a reminder of the power that secret societies held in shaping history and igniting social change. Displayed proudly within private collections, this piece from Bridgeman Images captures not only an important moment in Italian history but also showcases the artistic talent that flourished during the 19th century.
