EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the historic moment of Leo III's victory over the Saracens at Constantinople in 717. Illustrated by Robert Ambrose Dudley, this print is a remarkable piece from Hutchinson's History of the Nations in the 1920s. In this scene, we witness a fierce sea battle unfolding during the dark ages. The warship dominates the foreground, its imposing presence symbolizing strength and power. As waves crash against its hull, warriors clad in armor engage in intense combat with their Saracen adversaries. The atmosphere is charged with tension as both sides clash and confront each other head-on. Each soldier fights valiantly for their cause, displaying unwavering determination and bravery amidst chaos. Leo II stands tall as a leader and ruler, guiding his troops through this perilous conflict. His strategic prowess becomes evident as he orchestrates his forces to overcome the enemy onslaught. This engraving not only depicts a significant historical event but also serves as an allegory for humanity's eternal struggle against adversity. It reminds us that even in times of great turmoil, courageous individuals rise to face challenges head-on. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary artwork within their private collection, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and historical significance today.
