EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A train against a travelling house" by Achille Beltrame takes us back to a tragic incident that occurred near Arezzo, Italy in 1924. The image depicts a speeding train colliding with a gypsy caravan at a level crossing, causing one of the carriages to be overwhelmed and smashed. The impact resulted in three people being wounded and five others left bruised. The illustration was originally published in Courier Sunday on June 15th, 1924, providing visual documentation of the dramatic event. Beltrame's skillful use of color lithography brings this heartbreaking scene to life, capturing the chaos and devastation caused by the collision. In this snapshot from history, we witness not only the tragedy but also glimpse into the lives of these Italian travelers known as Romany or Gypsies. Their nomadic lifestyle is symbolized by their unique mode of transport - horse-drawn wagons that served as both dwelling places and means of travel. Through this artwork, Beltrame sheds light on an unfortunate accident that forever changed the lives of those involved. It serves as a reminder of how swiftly tragedy can strike even amidst everyday activities like crossing railway tracks. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to reflect upon past events while appreciating Beltrame's artistic talent in capturing such poignant moments from our shared human experience.
