EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Royalist Chief and the Seaman" we are transported back to the 19th century, where a dramatic scene unfolds. The image depicts a sailor gripping one of his pistols tightly with his right hand, while clutching his rosary in his left hand. Standing before him is an old man, who rises from his seat and poses a profound question: "Do you believe in God?". The sailor's response is both powerful and poignant as he recites the words of the Lord's Prayer: "Our Father, who is in heaven". In that moment, faith becomes palpable as he makes two signs of the cross. With tension hanging heavy in the air, time seems to stand still. The sailor calmly declares that he will grant the old man one minute before taking action. As if preparing for battle or defending what he holds dear, he readies himself by arming his gun. This illustration originates from Victor Hugo's renowned work "Ninety twenty thirteen" and was featured in "The Graphic" during the 19th century. The unknown artist skillfully captures this intense encounter between belief systems and ideologies through their masterful brushstrokes. Through this evocative image captured by Stefano Bianchetti, we are reminded of humanity's unwavering spirit even amidst adversity – be it on land or at sea – where faith can provide solace and strength when faced with life-altering decisions.
