EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the aftermath of the Battle of Solferino, a pivotal moment in Italian history that took place on June 24, 1859, near the town of Verona. The Austrian forces, represented by the red and white banner in the foreground, were decisively defeated by the combined French and Piedmontese forces, symbolized by the tricolor Italian flag flying high in the background. The Battle of Solferino was a turning point in the struggle for Italian unification, as it marked the end of Austrian dominance in the region and paved the way for the eventual establishment of a unified Italian state. The defeat of the Austrian forces was a significant military victory, with estimates suggesting that up to 40,000 soldiers were killed or wounded during the course of the battle. The print offers a glimpse into the chaos and destruction that followed the battle, with wounded soldiers lying on the ground and smoke rising from the battlefield. The defeated Austrian soldiers can be seen in the background, surrendering to their victors or making their way back to their lines. The print also highlights the role of key figures in the battle, including the Italian patriot Giuseppe Garibaldi, who is depicted on horseback in the background, leading his Red Shirts into battle. The Battle of Solferino was not only a military victory, but also a humanitarian one. The horrors of the battle, which included the widespread use of inhumane weapons and the lack of medical care for the wounded, led to the establishment of the International Red Cross and the Geneva Convention, which aimed to protect civilians and wounded soldiers in times of war. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during this crucial moment in Italian history and the enduring impact of the battle on the world.
