EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Venice's Canalgrande Vaporetto sunk by a torpedo boat in the lagoon on its way back. . " captures a dramatic moment in history. Created as a colour litho by Achille Beltrame, this artwork showcases the tragic event that occurred on March 29th to April 5th, 1914. The image depicts the Venetian canal filled with chaos and destruction. The Vaporetto, loaded with people returning from the Lido, is seen sinking after being struck by a torpedo boat. The collision between these two vessels has caused panic among passengers who are desperately trying to escape into the water. In this chaotic scene, men and women can be seen falling overboard while others cling onto boats for safety. The crashing waves and spray add to the sense of urgency and danger surrounding them. Meanwhile, naval sailors rush to rescue those in need amidst the wreckage. Beltrame's illustration not only captures this historical event but also highlights the vulnerability of Venice's transportation system during times of conflict. It serves as a reminder of how war can disrupt even everyday activities like commuting through one of Italy's most iconic cities. This powerful artwork invites viewers to reflect on the impact of war and appreciate both the strength and fragility of human life when faced with unexpected tragedy.
