EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - "The Riff (Rif) in revolt: following the Moroccan attack on the Spanish posts of Melilla". Taken from an engraving featured in "Le Petit Journal illustre" in 1924, this image showcases the aftermath of the Moroccan assault on Spanish territories. In response to this attack, Spanish troops are seen setting off to Morocco with a mission to restore order. The scene is filled with tension and determination as soldiers prepare for what lies ahead. Their presence symbolizes Spain's resolve to maintain control over its autonomous city of Melilla and its surrounding areas. The artist behind this powerful engraving remains anonymous, but their work speaks volumes about the impact of colonialism and anticolonial sentiments during that time. Through intricate details and masterful strokes, they have brought forth a visual narrative that portrays both sides of this conflict. This print belongs to a private collection, adding an air of exclusivity to its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics between nations and cultures during the early 20th century. Stefano Bianchetti has beautifully captured this piece through his lens, ensuring that it continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts worldwide.
