EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a picturesque Roman show, featuring a stunning representation of Sophocles' timeless tragedy, Oedipus the King. Set against the magnificent backdrop of Palatine Hill, this color lithograph by Achille Beltrame (1871-1945) transports viewers to an era where classical theater thrived. The image showcases a grand spectacle with actors and actresses gracefully ascending Greek steps on stage. The crowd eagerly watches as the tragic tale unfolds before their eyes. Oedipus Rex, portrayed by a talented actor, commands attention with his powerful presence and emotive performance. The scene is reminiscent of ancient Italy's rich theatrical tradition, combining elements of classicism and neoclassicism. The ruins surrounding Palatine Hill serve as a poignant reminder of Rome's glorious past while adding an air of authenticity to the performance. As audience members gather in front of a neo-classical temple, they become partakers in this immersive experience that bridges mythology and religion. This fusion between paganism and art creates an enchanting atmosphere that captivates all who witness it. Beltrame's skillful illustration perfectly captures the allure and drama inherent in live performances during this era. With its crowded picturehouse filled with Greeks and Italians alike, this print serves as both a testament to the enduring power of theater and an homage to Beltrame's artistic prowess.
