EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical event known as "Risorgimento: The Five Days of Milan (Cinque giornate di Milano)" that took place in 1848. Painted by Carlo Bossoli, it depicts a pivotal moment during the Revolutions of 1848 and the First Italian War of Independence. The scene showcases Sardinian King Charles Albert addressing the Milanese insurgents from the balcony of Casa Greppi. With passion and determination, he lends his support to their cause against Austrian occupation under Josef Radetzky. The painting beautifully portrays the unity between the king and his people, symbolizing their shared desire for freedom and independence. Bossoli's masterful use of oil on canvas brings this historic street scene to life, capturing not only the physical surroundings but also conveying a sense of urgency and tension in the air. The vibrant colors add depth and intensity to every brushstroke, immersing viewers into this significant moment in Italian history. Now housed at Museo del Risorgimento in Milan, Italy, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder of how ordinary citizens can rise up against oppression when united under a common goal. It stands as an enduring testament to resilience, courage, and national pride during times of struggle.
