Tragic Tale of Countess Lucia Costa - A Fateful Climb in the Dolomites
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this color lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we are transported to the picturesque landscapes of Lake Braies in the Dolomites. The print depicts Countess Lucia Costa, a Milanese aristocrat, embarking on a fateful hike with her husband and two loyal greyhounds. Little did they know that this innocent adventure would end in tragedy. As they ascended over a hill, their goal was to seek out the elusive edelweiss flowers. However, fate had other plans for them. Countess Lucia lost her footing and tragically fell from a height of approximately fifty meters. As her husband rushed to find help in nearby Braies, their faithful greyhounds remained by her side, emitting mournful howls as if sharing their pain at seeing their mistress motionless. This heart-wrenching scene is beautifully captured by Beltrame's skilled hand. The illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on August 24th, 1930 – forever immortalizing this haunting event. It serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers that can befall even the most experienced hikers amidst nature's splendor. This artwork not only showcases Beltrame's talent but also captures our imagination with its tragic narrative set against the breathtaking backdrop of Italy's Dolomite mountains. It reminds us to cherish every moment spent exploring nature while respecting its power and unpredictability.
