EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Allegorical calendar of the year 1865: Garibaldi the lion apprehending to jump on the French mouse and the Austrian fox to free Italy" by Italian School, showcases a powerful allegory of patriotism and liberation. The image depicts Giuseppe Garibaldi, symbolized as a majestic lion, poised to pounce on both the French mouse and Austrian fox in his valiant quest to liberate Italy. The artist skillfully incorporates anthropomorphism into this historical caricature, portraying musicians as cats forming an orchestra. The cello and trumpet are played with fervor, adding musicality to this visual narrative. Amidst this symphony of freedom, we witness the determination of Garibaldi as he prepares for his leap towards justice. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of Italy's struggle during its Risorgimento period. It encapsulates not only the spirit of unity but also highlights Garibaldi's pivotal role in shaping Italian history. The flute-playing woman standing nearby represents hope and resilience amidst adversity. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures these complex themes through her detailed illustration style. This print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon Europe's past while contemplating notions of nationalism and liberty that remain relevant today. Displayed within a private collection, this historic piece invites us into a world where animals become symbols for political movements and music becomes an anthem for change.
