The News of Sport - A Colourful Winter Spectacle in Norway
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The News of Sport" captures a fascinating winter scene in Norway during the early 20th century. In this image, we witness a thrilling skidding competition with an unexpected twist - participants are flying kites while sliding on ice! The vibrant kites add a burst of color to the frozen landscape, creating a mesmerizing visual spectacle. Amidst the freezing temperatures and snowy surroundings, women clad in bright and fashionable clothing enthusiastically take part in this new sporting craze. Their joyous expressions reflect the fun and excitement they experience as they glide across the icy lake. This unique combination of skiing and kite-flying showcases both athleticism and creativity. Beltrame Achille's exquisite illustration for Courier Sunday on March 16,1924, perfectly captures this exhilarating moment. The artist's attention to detail brings out every nuance of movement and expression, making us feel like we are right there on that frozen lake. This image not only highlights leisurely activities but also underscores the beauty of nature itself. Against the backdrop of majestic mountains and serene fjords, these daring women embrace their free time with enthusiasm and grace. "The News of Sport" is not just about entertainment; it symbolizes human resilience against coldness and adversity. It reminds us that even amidst harsh weather conditions, people find ways to enjoy life through sportsmanship and camaraderie. With its vivid colors, dynamic composition, and historical significance as an early example of combining sport with flight technology, this artwork by Beltrame Achille continues to captivate viewers today.
