When the Germans have fun
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and lively lithograph capturing a curious traditional show in Ulm, Bavaria. The image depicts two fishermen standing in their boats on the banks of the Danube, engaged in a fierce battle armed with wooden spears. Their extravagant costumes add to the spectacle as they row furiously, trying to throw each other into the water. This farcical scene draws an immense crowd who gather along the riverbank to witness this bizarre and comical event. Laughter fills the air as people watch these dressed-up fishermen engage in medieval-style jousting. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as everyone waits for one of them to triumphantly splash into the water. Beltrame Achille's illustration captures not only the physicality of this unique sport but also showcases German culture and traditions. It reflects how even in moments of playfulness, Germans embrace their heritage and find joy in celebrating it. The lithograph transports us back to 1922 when such events were popular forms of entertainment during springtime festivities. It reminds us that sports can take many forms beyond what we traditionally consider athletic competitions. Overall, "When the Germans have fun" encapsulates both humor and tradition while showcasing Beltrame Achille's artistic talent in capturing these whimsical moments from history.
