Metal Prints from Heritage Images
The Real Italian Brigand Chief, 1861
The Real Italian Brigand Chief, 1861. Count Cavour, the Italian Nationalist politician who had fought for the unification of Italy, became the first prime minister of that country in March 1861, but died only three months later. In his last days, he had been at odds with Pope Pius IX in an argument that had its origins in Cavours annexation of a large proportion of the Papal States in 1859 and 1860. Here, just after Cavours death, we see the Pope depicted as the real brigand chief, handing out weapons to a shaggy crew of fighters as he prepares to challenge Napoleon III of France who was preparing to break from the Catholic Church. A cardinal loads a gun on the right, by a door leading to the Powder Magazine. From Punch, or the London Charivari, August 24, 1861

The Real Italian Brigand Chief, 1861
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the political tensions and power struggles of Italy in the 19th century. Count Cavour, a prominent Italian Nationalist politician who played a crucial role in the unification of Italy, became the country's first prime minister in March 1861. However, his reign was short-lived as he passed away just three months later. In this intriguing image, we witness an intense moment after Cavour's death. The Pope, depicted as the real brigand chief, is seen distributing weapons to a rugged group of fighters. This act symbolizes his defiance against Napoleon III of France and his intention to challenge him for breaking away from the Catholic Church. The composition portrays various elements that add depth to its narrative. A cardinal can be observed loading a gun near a door leading to the Powder Magazine, emphasizing their preparedness for conflict. The cartoon-like depiction highlights caricatured features such as exaggerated body proportions and facial expressions. This satirical engraving from Punch magazine reflects the tense relationship between Cavour and Pope Pius IX due to territorial disputes over Papal States annexation by Cavours' forces in previous years. It showcases not only political rivalries but also religious conflicts during this period. Overall, "The Real Italian Brigand Chief" serves as both historical documentation and social commentary on power dynamics within Italy at that time.
