EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph titled "Humble acts of value, driver who suddenly stops a train by overturning the car" by Achille Beltrame depicts a heroic moment in history. The artwork showcases the incredible bravery and selflessness of an Italian train driver who, in a remarkable act of courage, stops a speeding train by overturning his own car. The illustration was created for Courier Sunday in April 1911 and captures the essence of this extraordinary event. As the locomotive hurtles towards disaster, endangering the lives of its passengers, this fearless driver takes decisive action to prevent catastrophe. With sheer determination and strength, he manages to stop the unstoppable machine just in time. Beltrame's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of this scene to life - from the billowing steam emanating from the engine to the intricate machinery that powers it. The composition also highlights the importance of teamwork as other individuals rush forward to assist with rescue efforts. This print is not only a celebration of heroism but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness. It reminds us that even ordinary people can rise above themselves when faced with extraordinary circumstances. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this artwork continues to inspire viewers with its depiction of unwavering courage and humble acts that hold immeasurable value.
