EDITORS COMMENTS
Submissions of high figures continue in Ethiopia (colour litho) captures a significant moment in Ethiopian history. The print, created by Achille Beltrame, depicts the encounter between Viceroy Graziani and Ras Hapte Micael, head of the Uollo tribe. In this powerful image, we witness an act of surrender and submission. The scene takes place in Addis Ababa, where Ras Hapte Micael presents his sword, family shield, coat of ras, and battle helmet to the Viceroy. With humility and respect for tradition, he offers these symbols as a gesture of loyalty and unity against their common enemies. Beltrame's illustration beautifully portrays the ceremonial exchange between two cultures – one representing Italian imperialism and the other embodying Ethiopian traditions. The soldiers stand tall in their uniforms while tribesmen don traditional robes. This visual contrast highlights both the power dynamics at play and the rich cultural heritage that coexists within Ethiopia. This artwork serves as a reminder of Ethiopia's struggle against colonial forces during this period. It symbolizes not only submission but also resilience as Ethiopians navigate through challenging times with dignity intact. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers are transported back to 1936 when alliances were formed amidst conflict. It invites us to reflect on historical narratives often overlooked or forgotten.
