EDITORS COMMENTS

Created by Charles Ricketts in 1917, this artwork measures 68.3x42.6 cm and is housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford.

It showcases an allegorical scene where Britannia, symbolizing Britain, confronts Prussia represented by a two-headed eagle. In this powerful image, Italia stands tall and resolute as she battles against her oppressor with unwavering determination. The clash between these two forces signifies the fight for redemption and salvation from Prussian dominance. The artist skillfully captures the essence of patriotism and sacrifice through intricate details such as swirling clouds of smoke, emphasizing the intensity of conflict on both sides. The redemptive theme resonates strongly throughout the composition, highlighting Italy's courageous efforts to defend its nation against external threats. "Italia Redenta" serves as a poignant reminder of Italy's significant role in World War I and their contribution to global peacekeeping efforts during that time.
