Destruction! (colour litho)
2783734 Destruction! (colour litho) by Beltrame, Achille (1871-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: Destruction! The spectacle of the ruins in all the towns of Asturias abandoned by the enemy is very painful, who managed, with the threat of shooting them, to take away all the inhabitants by pushing them with the kicks of their rifles towards Gijon. Villa Manin does not exist more than in a tourist sign that miraculously remained unharmed over the rocks of stones and rubble. With a heartfelt face, Gen Aranda contemplated yesterday the sad result of destructive barbarism. Next to him were three poor old octogenarians, the only ones who remained in the land between mines and flames, the Bolsheviks had abandoned them for their unsteady legs.

EDITORS COMMENTS
by Achille Beltrame captures the tragic aftermath of warfare in Asturias, Spain during the Spanish Civil War. The image depicts a devastated village, reduced to ruins and rubble. The artist portrays the wreckage with vivid colors, emphasizing the destruction caused by conflict. The caption describes how the enemy forced inhabitants out of their homes at gunpoint, leaving behind only three elderly individuals who were unable to flee. General Antonio Aranda gazes upon this heartbreaking scene alongside these survivors. Villa Manin, once a thriving town, now exists solely as a tourist sign miraculously untouched amidst the chaos. Beltrame's illustration was featured in Courier Sunday on October 3rd, 1937. It serves as a powerful reminder of the destructive barbarism that ravaged many towns during this tumultuous period in history. The image evokes feelings of sorrow and loss as it showcases buildings razed to the ground and lives shattered by war. It highlights not only physical destruction but also emotional devastation experienced by those caught in its path. This print from Fine Art Finder is an important historical document capturing both tragedy and resilience amidst conflict. It stands as a testament to humanity's capacity for destruction while also reminding us of our duty to strive for peace and understanding.
