The Battle of Cars-el-Leben - A Desperate Plea for Water
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this color lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we are transported back to the intense and harrowing scene of the Battle of Cars-el-Leben during the Libyan War. The image depicts a group of Arab soldiers surrendering to Italian forces, their bodies weary and worn from the scorching desert heat. As they kneel before their captors, these defeated warriors beg for a drink to quench their burning thirst. Their desperate plea is etched on their faces, reflecting both exhaustion and hopelessness. The contrast between the vibrant blue sky above and the lifeless corpses scattered across the arid landscape below serves as a stark reminder of the brutal reality of war. Beltrame's illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday in September-October 1912, capturing a pivotal moment in history when Italy sought control over Libya. Through his masterful brushstrokes, he conveys not only the physical toll that battle takes but also highlights themes of humanity amidst conflict. This powerful image reminds us that even in times of war, basic human needs transcend cultural differences. It serves as a poignant reminder that compassion can be found even within moments marked by violence and bloodshed. As we gaze upon this print from Beltrame's Private Collection today, it stands as an enduring testament to both the horrors and shared experiences faced by those caught up in conflicts throughout history.
