The Fire of the Bologna Fireworks (Colour Litho)
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a chaotic and dramatic scene during a pyrotechnic disaster in Bologna, Italy. The lithograph, created by Achille Beltrame in 1920, showcases the panic and fear that ensued when approximately 100,000 cartridges exploded in the adjacent artillery barracks. In this image, soldiers and civilians alike are seen desperately trying to control the raging flames while horses rear up in terror. The powerful detonations have spooked these majestic creatures, causing them to abandon their stables and run wild through the streets. Their neighs echo through the chaos as they gallop away from danger. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday perfectly encapsulates the four elements of fire, earth, air, and water coming together in a disastrous symphony. The burning flames engulf buildings while smoke billows into the sky above. People scramble to safety amidst exploding powder stores and debris flying everywhere. This print not only depicts a historical event but also evokes strong emotions within viewers. It serves as a reminder of how quickly life can be turned upside down by unexpected events. Beltrame's skillful portrayal of fear on both human faces and animal expressions adds depth to this artwork. "The Fire of the Bologna Fireworks (Colour Litho)" is an intriguing piece that transports us back in time to witness one moment of chaos frozen forever on paper.
