EDITORS COMMENTS
This color litho print by Achille Beltrame depicts a dramatic scene of workers crossing the Adige River on their way to work. As they navigate the treacherous waters in small boats, they are overwhelmed by the immense wheels of a mill that dominate the landscape. The image captures both the beauty and danger of this daily journey. The composition is filled with tension as men and women struggle to maintain balance amidst crashing waves and swirling currents. Some boats have already capsized, leaving individuals desperately swimming for safety. The windmills loom overhead, symbolizing both progress and potential disaster. Beltrame's illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday in January 1910, serving as a visual representation of an important news item at that time. It highlights not only the challenges faced by these hardworking individuals but also their resilience and determination to reach their place of employment. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from the expressions on each person's face to the movement of water around them. This print serves as a reminder of the power and unpredictability of nature while showcasing Beltrame's skill as an illustrator. Overall, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into a specific moment in history when transportation across rivers was perilous yet necessary for livelihoods.
