EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Sortie of Zrinyi during the defence of Szigetvar against the Turks, 1566" transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. Created by Johann Peter Krafft in 1825, this print captures the intensity and bravery displayed during the siege of Szigetvar. In 1566, Sultan Soleiman initiated a relentless siege on Szigetvar in Hungary. Count Nicholas Zrinyi, depicted here as a fearless leader, employed daring sorties to defend the city from Turkish forces. With swords raised high and determination etched on their faces, Zrinyi's warriors charge forward towards their adversaries. The scene is set within the walls of Szigetvar's castle complex. Turrets rise above them while gates stand defiantly against the impending attack. Horses gallop across a bridge spanning over a moat as soldiers clash with Ottoman troops below. Shields are held up for protection amidst an intense battle that rages on. Krafft's attention to detail brings this historical event to life through his intricate engraving technique. The composition highlights both sides locked in fierce combat - Hungarian defenders fighting valiantly against their Turkish assailants. This lithograph serves as a testament to human resilience and courage when faced with overwhelming odds. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their homeland and defended it with unwavering determination. Displayed proudly within private collections today, this artwork continues to captivate
