EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Suvorov crossing the Devils Bridge in 1799, beautifully depicted by Aleksei Danilovich Kivshenko in 1880. The scene showcases the fearless Russian general, Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov, leading his troops across a treacherous wooden plank bridge amidst the stunning backdrop of the Swiss Alps. The image exudes danger and peril as soldiers navigate their way through this precarious path. With rifles and bayonets at hand, they remain vigilant against any potential ambush from unseen enemies lurking within the mountainous terrain. The sheer drop and deep ravine below serve as a constant reminder of the risks they face. Suvorov's intrepid spirit is palpable as he fearlessly leads his men forward with unwavering determination. This iconic moment symbolizes not only his military prowess but also his strategic brilliance during times of war. Kivshenko's masterful use of watercolors on paper brings life to this historical event, capturing every detail with precision and skill. The print serves as a testament to both Suvorov's bravery and Kivshenko's artistic talent. Displayed at the State Central Navy Museum in St. Petersburg, this artwork stands as a powerful reminder of one man's indomitable spirit amidst challenging circumstances. It immortalizes an extraordinary chapter in history when courage triumphed over adversity in one daring crossing over Switzerland's infamous Devils Bridge.
