EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Carabinieri who during a play of Hamlet in a Piedmont theater seize the skulls" captures an intriguing moment from a performance in early 20th century Italy. The scene unfolds within the walls of a grand theater, where actors are immersed in their roles on stage. However, amidst the dramatic atmosphere, something unusual is taking place. A group of Carabinieri, Italian military police officers known for their strict adherence to law and order, have interrupted the play. They stand tall and authoritative as they confiscate several skulls that were being used as props. These skulls had been removed from a nearby cemetery without permission. The artist Achille Beltrame skillfully depicts this unexpected turn of events with great attention to detail. The expressions on both the actors' faces and those of the Carabinieri convey surprise and confusion at this sudden interruption. This lithograph serves as a reminder that even within the realm of art and entertainment, laws must be respected. It also highlights how life can imitate art in unexpected ways – just like Shakespeare's Hamlet grappling with mortality through his famous soliloquy about Yorick's skull. Beltrame's illustration was originally created for publication in Courier Sunday between January 1st-8th, 1911. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today by offering a glimpse into an intriguing moment from history – one where reality collided with fiction on stage.
