The Underground War - A Fiery Battle Beneath the Surface
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this color lithograph, Achille Beltrame brings to life the intense underground warfare that took place southwest of San Martino del Carso during World War One. The image depicts a night scene filled with chaos and destruction as soldiers engage in a fierce battle beneath the earth's surface. Amidst billowing smoke and flames, we witness the horrifying aftermath of an explosion caused by Italian sappers detonating their own mines. Corpses litter the ground, serving as haunting reminders of the brutal reality faced by those on both sides of this deadly conflict. The artist skillfully captures the desperation and determination etched onto each soldier's face as they fight for their lives in this treacherous subterranean battleground. It is a chilling reminder of how war can bring out both heroism and tragedy within individuals. Beltrame's vivid illustration was originally published in Courier Sunday in May 1916, providing readers with a glimpse into one aspect of this devastating global conflict. Through his masterful use of color and detail, he transports us back to that time when nations clashed underground, utilizing mines as weapons against one another. This powerful artwork serves as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by soldiers during World War One while also reminding us of the horrors unleashed upon them.
