EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a detailed section of Gerolamo Induno's masterpiece, "The Fall of Palestro, 30 May 1859". Painted in 1860 using oil on canvas, this artwork measures an impressive 210x300 cm and is currently housed at the Fondazione Cariplo in Milan, Lombardy, Italy. The painting depicts a significant event during the Risorgimento period and the Second Italian Independence War. The Battle of Palestro took place on May 30th, 1859 between the Austrian Empire and the combined forces of the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont and France. The intense confrontation unfolds before our eyes as we witness men from both sides engaged in warfare. Intriguing details emerge from this snapshot: soldiers clad in military uniforms wield bayonets and rifles while carts carry essential supplies for battle. Flags flutter proudly amidst cannons that dot the battlefield. Fatigue etches itself onto their faces as they fight for their respective causes. Induno's meticulous brushwork brings history to life within this composition. It serves as a poignant reminder of a crucial moment in Italian history when troops fought valiantly for independence against oppressive forces. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, viewers can appreciate not only Induno's artistic skill but also gain insight into one chapter of Italy's struggle towards unification during the nineteenth century.
