EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate "Plan of the siege of the Turkish fortress of Bender by the Russian army in November 1789". Created in 1789, this copper engraving and watercolour masterpiece is a true testament to the artistry and precision of cartography during that era. The anonymous artist from Austria has skillfully depicted every detail of this historic event. The image transports us back to a time when conflict between empires was at its peak. The Russo-Turkish War (1787-1792) was raging, and this particular siege on the Turkish fortress of Bender held great significance. Situated along the Dniester River in present-day Moldova, this stronghold represented a crucial strategic point for both sides involved. As we delve into each stroke and line within this artwork, we can almost feel ourselves immersed in history. The fine details bring to life not only the architectural grandeur of the fortress but also capture moments frozen in time – soldiers engaged in battle, cannons firing with thunderous roars, and smoke billowing through crumbling walls. Preserved within a private collection today, this print serves as an invaluable reminder of our past struggles and triumphs. It stands as a tribute to those who fought bravely during times of war while offering us an opportunity to reflect upon how far we have come since then. With gratitude to Fine Art Images/Heritage Images for preserving such historical treasures like these prints for generations to come.
