EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph captures a dramatic moment high in the Abruzzo mountains. An alpinist, bravely ascending the southern face of Murolungo, finds himself unexpectedly under attack by a majestic eagle. With only his trusty ice axe as defense, the young man engages in a fierce struggle against the powerful bird of prey. The intensity of their battle is palpable as they grapple amidst swirling clouds and snow-covered cliffs. The alpinist's determination to protect himself is evident, while the eagle's talons and beak pose a formidable threat. However, fate intervenes when an avalanche suddenly cascades down upon them both. In this breathtaking illustration for Courier Sunday on April 3rd, 1932, artist Achille Beltrame masterfully depicts not only the physical struggle between man and nature but also the delicate balance that exists within these rugged landscapes. The sheer rock faces and snowy peaks serve as witnesses to this extraordinary encounter. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection today, we are reminded of both the dangers and wonders that await those who dare to explore such treacherous heights. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our innate connection with nature's wild beauty. Beltrame's skillful rendering brings every detail to life - from each feather on the eagle's wingspan to every crevice in the mountain terrain. This artwork truly captures an unforgettable moment frozen in time; an eternal battle between two forces striving for survival amidst Italy's breathtaking natural splendor.
