EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the workers strikes in Marseille. The image depicts the hussars taking charge on the famous Canebiere street, as illustrated by Beltrame for La Domenica del Corriere in 1901. The scene is filled with tension and energy, as the hussars, mounted on their horses, move forward to confront the striking workers. The streets are crowded with people, some protesting while others watch anxiously from the sidelines. This illustration provides a glimpse into a turbulent period of French history when laborers fought for their rights and better working conditions. The composition skillfully portrays the intensity of this historical event. The artist's use of bold lines and contrasting shades adds depth to each figure present in the scene. Despite being created over a century ago, this artwork still manages to evoke strong emotions and transport viewers back to that era. Through this powerful image, we can appreciate both the artistic talent of Achille Beltrame and gain insight into an important chapter in Marseille's history. It serves as a reminder of how far society has come since those tumultuous times while also acknowledging that there is still work to be done towards achieving social justice for all workers around the world.
