EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "The First World War (1915). Battle of Dardanelles. Attack to an Anglo-French fleet," by the renowned Italian artist Achille Beltrame, vividly depicts a pivotal moment in the Battle of Dardanelles during World War I. The scene unfolds in the European theatre of the war, specifically in the waters of the Dardanelles Strait between Europe and Asia, which was then controlled by the Ottoman Empire. In this colorful and detailed square composition, we witness an intense battle between the Anglo-French fleet and the Ottoman defenses. The Anglo-French forces, determined to secure a sea route to Russia and break the deadlock of the Eastern Front, launch a massive naval attack against the heavily fortified Ottoman position. The Ottoman defenses, manned by resilient Turks, fiercely resist the invasion, determined to protect their homeland. The illustration masterfully captures the chaos and intensity of the battle, with cannons blazing and explosions rocking the waters. Smoke rises from the ships, obscuring the view and adding to the sense of confusion and turmoil. The Ottoman gallows, a testament to the ferocity of the Ottoman resistance, loom ominously in the background. This historical scene is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War, a conflict that forever changed the course of European history. The Battle of Dardanelles, also known as the Gallipoli Campaign, ultimately proved to be a costly failure for the Allied forces, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers and sailors. This powerful illustration serves as a testament to the bravery and determination of the soldiers and sailors who fought in this epic battle, as well as the devastating consequences of war.
