EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the history of the American Revolution, known as the Trahison of Arnold. The image depicts Benedict Arnold, a once-revered American general turned traitor, engaging in a clandestine meeting with Major John Andre. It was during this fateful encounter on September 21,1780, that Arnold successfully convinced Andre to conceal the plans of West Point within his boot. The artist behind this 19th-century engraving remains unknown but has masterfully captured the tension and secrecy surrounding this treasonous act. The composition draws attention to the human element of betrayal and showcases both men dressed in their military uniforms - one British and one American. Arnold's treachery shook not only his fellow countrymen but also those fighting for independence from England. This historical event serves as a reminder of how personal ambitions can sometimes cloud one's loyalty to their cause. Displayed within a private collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon the complexities of war and its impact on individuals caught between conflicting loyalties. As we gaze upon this piece by Stefano Bianchetti, we are transported back to a time when America fought for its freedom against great odds – an enduring symbol of resilience and determination that still resonates today.
