The Hydrophobic Horse
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and chaotic scene captured in this vibrant colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame. The image transports us to Lusciano, near Aversa, where an extraordinary event unfolded. In the midst of a bustling village street, a horse emerges from its stable in a state of sheer panic. Its hydrophobia evident through wild galloping and distressed whining. As onlookers scramble to safety, the horse's fear escalates, causing it to bite its master before continuing its frenzied rampage. Six more unfortunate souls fall victim to the horse's aggression as it charges through the streets with unrelenting force. This dramatic incident was triggered by the horse being bitten by a dog just days prior. The consequences of that encounter are now fully realized as the animal succumbs to exhaustion and collapses lifeless on the ground. Beltrame's illustration originally accompanied an article published in Courier Sunday on April 17th, 1938 - capturing this remarkable moment for posterity. Through his skilled hand, he brings forth not only the chaos but also highlights how human lives can be disrupted when nature takes an unexpected turn. "The Hydrophobic Horse (Colour Litho)" serves as both a historical record and artistic interpretation of this gripping news item. It reminds us of our vulnerability amidst untamed forces while showcasing Beltrame's talent for capturing intense emotions within his illustrations.
