EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour litho print, titled "A bloodshed sword duel between two ladies in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris" transports us back to a peculiar scene that unfolded in 1908. The artwork, created by Achille Beltrame, showcases an extraordinary confrontation between two women armed with rapiers. Set against the backdrop of the iconic Bois de Boulogne in Paris, this image captures the intensity and drama of their clash. Surrounded by a fenced area, witnesses gather around to witness this highly unusual spectacle. The crowd is filled with anticipation as these courageous women engage in a fierce battle. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he portrays every element of this bizarre encounter - from the determination on each woman's face to the flowing movement of their swords. Their fight seems almost surreal amidst such serene surroundings. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, it raises questions about gender roles and expectations during that era. It challenges our preconceived notions about what was considered acceptable behavior for women at that time. Beltrame's illustration not only captures a thrilling duel but also serves as a reminder of how art can provoke thought and challenge societal norms. This unique piece invites us to reflect on themes such as conflict, bravery, and breaking boundaries – all within the confines of an exquisite lithograph print preserved for generations to come.
