EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Italian caricaturist, Carlo Pellegrini, better known by his pen name Ape, in a self-portrait taken during the late 19th century. Born in 1839, Pellegrini was a master of satire and wit, using his artistic talents to poke fun at the political and social elite of his time. In this image, Pellegrini is depicted wearing a top hat adorned with a red feather, a long red beard, and a cigar clenched between his teeth. He is seen holding an umbrella, possibly a reference to his nickname "Ape," which means "bee" in Italian. The moniker was given to him due to his stinging satire and ability to provoke thought and conversation. The year 1889 is significant as it marks the end of Pellegrini's prolific career, which spanned over five decades. He began his career as a political cartoonist for various Italian newspapers and quickly gained popularity for his biting commentary and insightful observations. His works were published in numerous European and American publications, making him an international sensation. This print serves as a testament to Pellegrini's enduring legacy as a master of caricature and satire. His works continue to be celebrated for their historical significance and their ability to capture the spirit of the times. The print also offers a glimpse into the life of a man who used his art to challenge the status quo and provoke thought and conversation. Overall, this image is a fascinating window into the world of Carlo Pellegrini, the man behind the pen name Ape, and his contributions to the rich history of caricature and satire.
