EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment during the Battle of the Volturno in 1860, as Neapolitan troops cautiously make their way along a narrow ravine during Garibaldi's Expedition of the Thousand. The Italian unification movement, driven by the Risorgimento, had reached a critical juncture as the Neapolitan army faced the British and French forces supporting the Bourbon monarchy. In this dramatic scene, the Neapolitan soldiers, armed with rifles and bayonets, move stealthily along the rugged terrain, seemingly unaware of the imminent ambush by the Garibaldian forces hidden in the shadows. The contrast between the open, sunlit landscape and the dark, hidden recesses of the ravine heightens the sense of tension and anticipation. The print, created from a sketch by Thomas Nast for the Illustrated London News, offers a fascinating glimpse into the geography of the battlefield and the strategic choices faced by both sides during this crucial engagement in the Italian War of Unification. The uncertain expressions on the faces of the Neapolitan soldiers underscore the unpredictability of warfare and the element of surprise that often determines its outcome. This evocative print, a testament to the power of the press in documenting historical events, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and struggles that shaped the unification of Italy and the broader European political landscape of the 19th century.
