EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and chaos of the Battle of San Martino in 1859. Painted by Sebastiano de Albertis, this oil on canvas artwork showcases a pivotal moment during the battle, specifically focusing on the artillery division's attack. The composition is filled with intricate details that transport us back to this historic event. In the forefront, we see soldiers manning cannons and preparing for battle, their military uniforms reflecting the fashion of the time. The chariots and carts used to transport ammunition add an element of realism to this scene. Amidst all this action, cavalrymen gallop through smoke-filled fields while troops advance towards enemy lines. Horses play a significant role in conveying both power and vulnerability as they navigate through a battlefield strewn with fallen bodies. Albertis masterfully portrays not only the physicality but also captures emotions such as fear, determination, and sacrifice within his brushstrokes. This painting serves as a poignant reminder of Italy's struggle for independence during this period. Now preserved at Fondazione Cariplo in Milan, Lombardy, Italy, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It stands as a testament to human resilience amidst war while paying homage to those who fought valiantly for their country's freedom.
