EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches of Italy (engraving)" by Thomas Nast takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image, dating back to 1860, captures the intensity and chaos of the Battle of Volturnus during the Italian revolutions. In this scene, we witness a fierce confrontation between the Garibaldians and Neapolitans on the battlefield. The smoke from burning batteries fills the air as wounded soldiers lie scattered across St Angelo field. Amidst this turmoil, brave Italian fighters stand tall with their flag held high, symbolizing their determination for freedom and unity. The artist's intricate sketches transport us to Europe during a time when Italy was fighting for its independence. Through his detailed engravings, Nast brings alive the bravery and sacrifice displayed by both sides in this historic battle. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Italy's struggle for unification and its significance within European history. It allows us to reflect upon how far Italy has come since those turbulent times while honoring those who fought valiantly for their nation's sovereignty. Displayed in private collections around the world, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its vivid depiction of an important chapter in Italian history.
