The Italian conquest of Tripolitania widens gradually, raising the flag on the tip of Tagiura
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This color lithograph by Achille Beltrame depicts a significant moment in history - the Italian conquest of Tripolitania. The image showcases an Italian soldier climbing a flagpole, with great determination and attention to detail, as he raises the Italian flag at the pinnacle of Tagiura. The scene is filled with patriotic fervor and imperial ambition. The officer's rifle rests against his shoulder, symbolizing both protection and victory. Surrounding him are fellow soldiers and sailors, saluting their triumph over the Ottoman Empire during the Italo-Turkish War. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to 1911 when Italy sought to expand its colonies in Africa. The artist beautifully captures not only the physical feat of climbing but also conveys a sense of nationalism and pride that permeated through Italy during this time. The coastal backdrop adds depth to this historic moment as it merges with four elements: land, sea, sky, and human endeavor. This print serves as a testament to Italy's military prowess while also highlighting their desire for dominance in North Africa. Beltrame's illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday magazine in December 1911. Today it is part of a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its powerful depiction of war and conquest.
