EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Days of Battle in the Mediterranean: A Fierce Encounter with an English Convoy". This photo print, titled "Two days of battle in the Mediterranean, against an English convoy" captures a dramatic moment during World War II. Created by renowned illustrator Achille Beltrame, this color lithograph depicts a relentless assault on an English convoy by Axis forces. In the midst of darkness and chaos, fires rage on deck as submarines lurk beneath the surface. The brave soldiers aboard Mas boats launch themselves at surviving steamers, determined to sink every enemy vessel they encounter. Explosions rock the ocean as torpedoes and bombs find their targets with deadly precision. The image portrays a pivotal event that took place after victorious attacks from bombers and torpedo bombers. As dawn breaks over the horizon, one can witness a large merchant ship succumbing to its watery grave under relentless bombardment. Beltrame's illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on August 3rd, 1941. It serves as a powerful reminder of the intense battles fought during World War II in the Mediterranean region. This remarkable artwork showcases not only Beltrame's artistic prowess but also pays homage to those who fought valiantly for their respective alliances - be it Axis or Allied powers. The image encapsulates both the destructive power unleashed upon convoys and the resilience displayed by soldiers amidst turbulent waters. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to a time when nations clashed fiercely at sea - each vying for dominance over these treacherous waters.
