EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment as Italian soldiers march triumphantly into the fortified town on the Island of Chois. The illustration, taken from Pregi della Toscana Nell Imprese piu Segnalate de Cavalieri di Santo Stefano by Fulvio Fontana and engraved by H. Vincent in 1701, showcases the bravery and strength of Florentines as they defeat the Ottoman Turks. Published in Florence during that time, this image symbolizes the valiant efforts of the Knights of San Stefano, established by Cosimo I di Medici to combat pirates and protect their coastline against Turkish invasions. The scene depicts a harbor filled with ships moored alongside each other while an army marches towards victory. The fortifications surrounding the town stand tall and imposing, representing both protection for its inhabitants and defiance against enemy forces. Windmills dotting the landscape add a touch of serenity amidst this intense battle scene. As Christians clash with Muslims at sea, this engraving serves as a testament to Italy's resilience in defending its shores from Turkish armadas. It not only portrays a significant historical event but also highlights Italy's maritime prowess during that era. Preserved within The Stapleton Collection, this remarkable artwork reminds us of past conflicts fought along coastlines and fortresses throughout history. Its intricate details invite viewers to reflect upon moments when civilizations clashed and confrontations shaped destinies.
