EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Poerio and Pirouti, in the Infirmary of the Bagno di Ischia" takes us back to 19th century Italy. This powerful image, created by an English School artist, depicts a scene from the infamous prison infirmary on the island of Ischia. In this poignant illustration for The Illustrated London News, we witness two figures - Poerio and Pirouti - who find themselves confined within the walls of this institution. Their weary expressions tell tales of hardship and suffering endured behind bars. The Bagno di Ischia was notorious for its harsh conditions, housing both criminals and political prisoners alike. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the struggles faced by those imprisoned during that era. The Italian flag hanging prominently in the background serves as a reminder of national identity amidst these trying circumstances. It symbolizes not only their shared heritage but also their longing for freedom. This artwork transports us to a time when Europe was divided into separate nations yet united through common experiences such as incarceration. It invites contemplation on themes of justice, human rights, and resilience. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we have been granted access to this historical gem that sheds light on an important chapter in Italian history.
