EDITORS COMMENTS
A masquerade reminiscent of a legend, in Germany" captures the enchanting atmosphere of a vibrant carnival celebration atop the Brocken mountain. This color lithograph by Achille Beltrame (1871-1945) transports us to the Night of St. Walpurgis, where revelers don elaborate masks and costumes against a backdrop of flickering bonfires and lanterns. The image depicts a diverse array of characters, from witches on broomsticks to whimsical monsters and traditional folk figures. A young girl in an exquisite costume stands at the center, her eyes filled with wonder as she takes in the magical scene unfolding before her. As children cheer and adults join in merriment, this snapshot showcases German culture's rich tradition of celebrating Walpurgisnacht on May Day. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this festive occasion through intricate details such as smoke billowing from fires and colorful masks adorning joyful faces. Beltrame's illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on May 9th, 1926, offering readers a glimpse into this cherished German event. Today, this print serves as both an artistic homage to folklore and an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in the joyous spirit that permeates such celebrations. This artwork by Beltrame Achille is part of a private collection but can be appreciated by all who are captivated by tales woven within legends.
