The Capture of Aul Gimry, 17th October 1832
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Franz Roubaud that depicts a significant event during the Caucasian War of 1817-1864. The artwork showcases the intense battle between Russian forces and the resistance fighters led by Ghazi Mullah in the village of Aul Gimry. The painting captures the chaotic scene with great detail and precision. On a hilltop fortified with strong fortifications, Russian soldiers storm the enemy's position, engaging in fierce gunfire and close combat using rifles and bayonets. The air is filled with smoke from artillery fire as both sides fight for victory. Roubaud's mastery lies in his ability to convey not only the physicality of war but also its emotional impact. The expressions on the faces of both Russian soldiers and Muslim fighters reveal their determination, fear, and bravery amidst this deadly conflict. This historical artwork serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by those involved in this holy war declared by Ghazi Mullah against Russian occupation. It symbolizes resilience, sacrifice, and unwavering faith in one's cause. Displayed at the State Art Museum of Dagestan Republic in Makhatchkala, this painting stands as a testament to Roubaud's talent as an artist and offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon a significant chapter in history that shaped Dagestan's identity.
