EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cut in two!" by Achille Beltrame depicts a dramatic scene during a storm in the Bay of Biscay. The image showcases the sheer power and unpredictability of nature as a Spanish merchant steamer is lifted like a twig and violently thrown against a rock, resulting in its hull being split into two parts. The intensity of the storm is evident through the crashing waves and splashing water surrounding the ship. The crew members onboard are undoubtedly facing imminent danger as their vessel teeters on the brink of sinking. The image captures both the chaos and vulnerability that can be experienced at sea, emphasizing how even large ships can succumb to nature's forces. Beltrame's illustration was originally published in Courier Sunday on 4th February 1934, adding an element of historical significance to this artwork. It serves as a reminder of past maritime disasters and highlights the risks faced by sailors throughout history. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this lithograph transports viewers back to that fateful moment when disaster struck. It not only showcases Beltrame's artistic talent but also serves as a testament to human resilience in face of adversity. Overall, this striking image offers us an opportunity to reflect on our relationship with nature while appreciating both the beauty and dangers it presents.
