A Night of Fire in La Spezia
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and poignant print that captures the chaos and bravery during World War II. The image, created by Achille Beltrame, depicts a young midwife urgently called to a house engulfed in flames. Despite the shower of bombs exploding all around her, she fearlessly rushes to assist in the birth of a child. In this powerful scene, we witness the mother's invitation for the midwife to seek safety in a nearby shelter. However, driven by her unwavering dedication to her profession and humanity, the young woman refuses to abandon her duty. Little does she know that fate has other plans for her as she is later thrown to the ground by another blast. This extraordinary act of courage did not go unnoticed as it was proposed for a reward for civil valor. The illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on September 19-26th, 1943. Beltrame's artwork beautifully portrays both the horrors and heroism experienced during times of war. It serves as a reminder of those who selflessly risked their lives amidst destruction and chaos to bring new life into an uncertain world. This print from Fine Art Finder offers us an opportunity to reflect upon the resilience and sacrifice displayed by individuals like this brave midwife during one fateful night in La Spezia.
