EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "From comedy to tragedy" by Achille Beltrame takes us back in time to a dramatic event that unfolded in Brasow, Romania. The image depicts a group of elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen returning from a masked ball, unaware of the impending danger lurking in the shadows. Suddenly, they find themselves under attack by a pack of hungry wolves amidst the winter snow. The contrast between comedy and tragedy is beautifully portrayed as the joyful atmosphere of the carnival quickly turns into chaos and fear. The women and men are seen desperately fending off their attackers with sticks, while others try to seek refuge on tree branches or behind masks. Beltrame's illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday on March 30th, 1924, capturing an actual news item from that time. This historical context adds depth to the artwork, reminding us of the unpredictable nature of life itself. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of both human emotions and animal instincts. The snarling wolves symbolize primal forces disrupting an otherwise festive occasion. Through this artwork, Beltrame invites us to reflect on themes such as tradition, vulnerability, and resilience in the face of unexpected challenges. Overall, this colour litho print serves as a powerful reminder that life can swiftly transition from joyous celebration to tragic circumstances – an eternal dance between comedy and tragedy captured within one frame.
