Like the ancient Romans, the plow by the sword
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This color lithograph by Achille Beltrame depicts a powerful scene that harkens back to the days of ancient Rome. The image portrays an intriguing juxtaposition between war and agriculture, highlighting the dual roles soldiers played during World War I. In this illustration for La Domenica Del Corriere, published in April-May 1917, we witness soldiers engaged in farm work within a war zone. Clad in their military uniforms and armed with swords, these brave men are shown diligently plowing fields with horses as they sow seeds for future harvests. It is a striking reminder of how even amidst conflict and chaos, food production remains essential for survival. The artist skillfully captures both the physical effort required for farming and the strength of these soldiers who have taken on this additional responsibility. The horses play a crucial role as well, serving not only as means of transport but also embodying resilience and determination. Beltrame's artwork beautifully conveys the importance of agriculture during wartime - feeding troops and sustaining communities while battles rage on. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of strife, humanity must find ways to provide sustenance and maintain some semblance of normalcy. This print from Fine Art Finder offers us a glimpse into history where land cultivation becomes intertwined with warfare - reminding us that throughout time, people have relied on both plows and swords to secure their existence.
