The Dramas of the Mines
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and intense print that depicts a harrowing incident in the coal mines of Angelo, Italy. Created by Achille Beltrame in 1921, this colour lithograph showcases the dangers faced by miners during their arduous work underground. In this scene, we witness a team of workers entering a tunnel with their trusty tools and lanterns. Little did they know that an enormous amount of gas was about to be released, causing a catastrophic explosion. The flames engulfed twelve workers, leaving them injured and fighting for survival. The image captures the chaos and desperation as these brave men try to escape the blazing inferno. The rubble from the collapsed tunnel adds to the dramatic atmosphere, emphasizing the danger lurking beneath our feet. Beltrame's illustration serves as a poignant reminder of the risks involved in mining operations and pays tribute to those who risked their lives daily to extract valuable resources from deep within the earth. This powerful artwork not only showcases Beltrame's artistic talent but also sheds light on an important chapter in industrial history. It serves as a testament to both human resilience and vulnerability when confronted with nature's forces. "The Dramas of the Mines" is an evocative piece that transports viewers back in time while reminding us of how far we have come in ensuring safer working conditions for miners worldwide.
