EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic event that took place in Naples in 1878 - the attack of Giovanni Passannante against the Italian king Umberto I. The engraving, created by an anonymous Italian artist from the 19th century, vividly captures the intensity and chaos of this momentous occasion. Giovanni Passannante, a notorious malefactor and anarchist, attempted to assassinate King Umberto I as he walked through the streets of Naples. This audacious act not only shocked the nation but also inspired poet Giovanni Pascoli to write an Ode commemorating this event. The street scene depicted in this engraving is filled with tension and drama. Passannante can be seen lunging towards King Umberto I while surrounded by onlookers who are both horrified and fascinated by what they witness. The artist skillfully portrays the emotions running high during this historical incident. This representation serves as a powerful reminder of Italy's tumultuous past and its struggle for political stability. It sheds light on anarchism's influence during that era and highlights how one man's actions could inspire great works of art. Preserved in a private collection, this remarkable engraving allows us to delve into history and explore significant moments that shaped Italy's cultural narrative. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder provides art enthusiasts with access to rare prints like these, showcasing important events captured through artistic expression.
