EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph by Achille Beltrame depicts a dramatic scene in Somma Vesuviana, where a vineyard owner and his family were enjoying a peaceful dinner. Little did they know that their evening would be shattered by an unexpected explosion that tore through the ceiling, engulfing their home in flames. The source of this terrifying incident was revealed to be a firecracker launched on the roof as an act of revenge by a disgruntled grape thief who had been denounced by the owner. In this chaotic moment captured with great detail, we witness the desperate attempts of the unfortunate family to escape from their burning house. Smoke billows around them as they navigate through wreckage and smashed furniture, desperately seeking safety. The fear is palpable on their faces as they flee from danger. The artist's skillful rendering brings out every emotion felt by each member of this traumatized family - from the panic-stricken father leading his children to safety, to the terrified mother clutching her daughters tightly. Even amidst chaos and destruction, there is hope represented by brave sons helping younger siblings escape. This artwork serves as a reminder of how quickly life can change and how one person's actions can have devastating consequences for others. It also highlights the resilience and strength exhibited during times of crisis.
