EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Garibaldi the Liberator, or The Modern Perseus" transports us back to 1860, a time when Giuseppe Garibaldi was making history as an Italian general and politician. This engraving, created by an anonymous English artist from the 19th century, beautifully captures the essence of Garibaldi's heroic persona. In this allegorical portrayal, Garibaldi is depicted as Perseus, the mythical Greek hero who famously slayed Medusa. With his piercing gaze and determined expression, he stands tall with a spear in hand and wings adorning his back. The symbolism is clear - just like Perseus rescued Andromeda from a sea monster in ancient mythology, Garibaldi is seen as the savior of Sicily. The composition also includes a female figure representing Sicily herself; she looks on with gratitude and hope for liberation. The intricate details of this engraving bring life to every element - from the swirling waves beneath them to the fierce creature lurking nearby. This historical artwork serves as both a tribute to Garibaldi's significant role in Italy's unification process and an exploration of timeless themes such as heroism and freedom. Preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, it continues to inspire admiration for one man's extraordinary contributions towards shaping Italy's destiny.
