EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the historic Battle of Dogali, fought on 26 January 1887 between Italy and Ethiopia in Dogali near Massawa, present-day Eritrea. Illustrated by the talented Tancredi Scarpelli (1866-1937) for Paolo Giudici's "Storia d Italia" (Histoitoiya Re-d Italie) in 1930, this artwork is a testament to the power of visual storytelling. In this illustration, Scarpelli skillfully depicts the intensity and chaos of battle as Italian and Ethiopian forces clash on the battlefield. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail, from soldiers charging forward with determination to billowing flags symbolizing national pride. The Battle of Dogali holds immense historical significance as it marked one of many conflicts during Europe's colonial expansion into Africa. This image serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics at play during this era, highlighting both African resistance against European powers and Italy's ambitions for territorial control. Scarpelli's mastery shines through his intricate drawing style, capturing not only the action but also conveying emotions felt by those involved in this pivotal moment. Through his artistry, he transports viewers back to a time when nations clashed over land and resources. Preserved within private collections today, this photograph from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Scarpelli's talent while reflecting on an important chapter in history that continues to shape our world today.
