EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from the past, showcasing the intense struggle between compassion and cruelty. In this engraving titled "Stowaways are thrown into the sea" we witness a gripping moment aboard the Greek ship "Theodora Calakuli" in 1930. Surprising three Spanish stowaways on his vessel, the captain makes a chilling decision to have them thrown overboard by his first officer. However, standing against this act of brutality is an unexpected hero - the captain's wife. With determination in her eyes and a gun in her hand, she confronts her husband, threatening him to save these desperate souls from drowning. The artist beautifully depicts this moral dilemma through intricate details and skillful shading. The fear-stricken faces of the stowaways reflect their dire situation while emphasizing their humanity amidst such adversity. The tension between characters is palpable as they navigate conflicting emotions of duty, survival, and empathy. This historical piece not only sheds light on immigration issues but also serves as a reminder that even during dark times, acts of compassion can prevail over heartlessness. It prompts us to question our own values and actions when faced with similar dilemmas today. Preserved within private collections for decades, this engraving by Stefano Bianchetti continues to captivate viewers with its powerful storytelling ability. Its significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its ability to provoke thought and reflection on timeless themes of human nature and morality.
