EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Woman Against an Eagle" by Achille Beltrame depicts a remarkable moment of bravery and resilience. In the image, we see a peasant woman from Croveo, in Val d'Ossola, Italy, fearlessly confronting an eagle that has fallen on the pallaio. Startled by the cries of frightened chickens, she stands her ground against this formidable bird of prey. The scene captures a violent struggle between the woman and the eagle as they fiercely battle for dominance. Despite being wounded by its beak and claws, she refuses to give in until some neighbors intervene to help bring down the animal. Set against a backdrop of snow-covered houses and yards, this winter encounter showcases both the strength of nature's creatures and human determination. The image evokes feelings of admiration for this courageous Italian woman who fearlessly defends her home against such a powerful adversary. Beltrame's illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday on March 4th, 1934. This color lithograph now resides in a private collection but is made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder. In summary, "A Woman Against an Eagle" is not only visually striking but also tells a tale of bravery and resilience that continues to captivate viewers today.
