Oath of Vittorio Emanuele III 1900

Achille Beltrame's 1900 painting, "Oath of Vittorio Emanuele III", depicts the Italian King taking an oath of office. The scene features the King standing in a grand, ornate room with two figures flanking him. The King is centrally positioned, wearing a military uniform, with a sword at his side, emphasizing his power and authority. The richly detailed painting showcases Beltrame's skill in historical illustration, capturing the opulence of the royal court in the early 20th century. The work provides a glimpse into the political and social context of Italy during the early 1900s.
