EDITORS COMMENTS
This litography print, titled "Algeria (1837). Battle of Constantina," is a stunning piece from the Achille Bertarelli collection of prints housed in the Civica Raccolta delle Stampe in Milan, Italy. The exterior of the prestigious museum, bathed in sunlight, sets the perfect backdrop for this historical artwork. The print depicts the pivotal Battle of Constantina, which took place on August 14, 1837, during the French conquest of Algeria. The scene unfolds in a horizontal composition, with the North African landscape illuminated by the warm, natural light of the day. The white tents and uniforms of the French soldiers contrast sharply against the arid, sandy terrain. The intricate details of the print, achieved through the litography process, bring the battle to life. French troops are shown advancing against the Algerian defenders, who fiercely resist with swords and spears. Smoke rises from the battlefield, adding a sense of chaos and intensity to the scene. The Battle of Constantina marked a significant turning point in the French conquest of Algeria, as it allowed the French to secure a strategic position and gain momentum in their campaign. This print serves as a testament to the rich history of the region and the courage of those who fought in this pivotal battle. The Achille Bertarelli collection of prints in the Civica Raccolta delle Stampe in Milan is a treasure trove of historical and artistic treasures, and this print is a prime example of the exceptional pieces it holds. Whether you're an history buff, an art enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of historical art, this print is sure to captivate and inspire.
