The Battle of Poltava, a pivotal moment in history, took place on 27 June 1709. Peter the Great of Russia led his forces against Charles XII of Sweden in a fierce clash that would shape the fate of nations. This engraving by Pierre-Denis Martin captures the intensity and grandeur of this historic event. Bender, the Turkish fortress in Bessarabia, played a significant role in this battle. As depicted in an artwork from around 1720, its strategic location added complexity to the conflict. The map from 1713 provides further insight into the layout and tactics employed during this epic confrontation. To commemorate the centennial anniversary of this decisive victory, Thomas de Thomon designed an impressive column in 1805. Its construction stands as a testament to the enduring significance and impact of the Battle of Poltava. Alexei Fyodorovich Zubov's painting from 1715 offers another perspective on this monumental clash. It showcases both sides engaged fiercely on the battlefield, highlighting their determination and bravery. The medal created to honor those who fought at Poltava is a symbol of valor and sacrifice. Crafted with precision by Orders, Decorations, and Medals artists, it serves as a reminder of those who gave their all for victory. Maps depicting both Poltava and Bender provide geographical context to better understand how these locations influenced military strategies during this time period. Gabriel Bodenehr's map shows key points while Joseph Friedrich Leopold's map delves deeper into specific details surrounding Poltava itself. Abraham Allard's broadside artwork brings forth vivid imagery capturing moments from within battle lines—soldiers locked in combat amidst chaos yet displaying unwavering resolve. Even after centuries have passed since that fateful day in June 1709 when Charles XII faced defeat at Poltava; Gustaf Cederstrom's painting from 1879 immortalizes the aftermath.
