EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A suggestive show on the picturesque Libyan streets, the passage in an oasis for runners. . " by Achille Beltrame takes us back to a time of colonialism and adventure. The image transports us to the vibrant streets of Libya, where a group of cyclists are participating in the Tripolitania Cycling Tour. The scene is filled with excitement as riders speed through the sandy desert landscape, surrounded by towering palm trees. The crowd eagerly watches on, cheering for their favorite competitors. It's a spectacle that showcases both athleticism and the beauty of North Africa. Beltrame's illustration captures not only the physicality of cycling but also highlights the cultural significance of this event within Libya's colonial history. The presence of African riders adds another layer to this narrative, emphasizing their participation in sports during a time when opportunities were limited. The composition is rich with details - from the bustling crowds to the vast expanse of sand dunes stretching into infinity. It evokes a sense of awe and wonder at both nature's grandeur and human determination. This artwork serves as a reminder that even amidst political tensions and historical complexities, sports can bring people together across cultures and create moments worth celebrating.
