EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Montenegrin soldiers in action during the War of 1876. The image, drawn by Valerio and featured in Charles Yriarte's journey to Montenegro, beautifully illustrates the intensity and bravery displayed by these fighters. Amidst a backdrop of rugged mountains in the Balkans, these Serbian warriors stand tall with their guns at the ready. Their determined expressions reveal their unwavering commitment to defending their homeland against Ottoman Turkey. This engraving from Le tour du monde, directed by Edouard Charton in 1877, transports us back to a pivotal moment in history when Serbia and Montenegro declared war on their formidable adversary. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully depicts every aspect of this scene - from the soldiers' meticulously crafted uniforms to the observation post perched high above them. It is clear that Valerio sought not only to capture an accurate representation of these brave men but also convey a sense of honor and pride that resonates through generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom and independence. This powerful image serves as a testament to the resilience and courage exhibited by Montenegrin soldiers during one of history's most significant conflicts.
