EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment at the level crossing in Cesenatico, Romagna. Two women, seated in a buggy, anxiously await the passing of a train. However, their peaceful wait takes an unexpected turn when their horse suddenly becomes wild and uncontrollable. Startled by this sudden change in behavior, the horse backs away frantically and tragically plunges into the deep canal of the port. In distress and fearing for their lives, the women cry out for help. Their desperate pleas catch the attention of a brave fisherman nearby who wastes no time in coming to their aid. With great courage and determination, he dives into the water to rescue them from imminent danger. Illustrated by Achille Beltrame for Courier Sunday on April 13th, 1930, this powerful image showcases not only a thrilling rescue but also highlights themes of heroism and human compassion. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of chaos and uncertainty, there are always individuals willing to risk everything to save others. The collision between man-made transportation vehicles and nature's elements is depicted here with striking realism - an intense clash between technology represented by trains and carriages against the raw power of animals like horses. This artwork beautifully captures both tragedy and triumph within its frame while showcasing Beltrame's exceptional talent as an illustrator.
