EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Prince Eugene of Savoy Carignan (1663-1736): A French Hero in Austrian Service and the Liberator of Vienna from the Turks" This evocative image captures the essence of Prince Eugene of Savoy Carignan (1663-1736), a pivotal figure in European history during the 17th and 18th centuries. Born in Savoy, Italy, Eugene rose to prominence in the service of the Habsburg Monarchy in Austria, becoming a renowned military and political leader. The statue, created by Hungarian sculptor Jozsef Rona (1861-1939) in 1900, stands proudly in Budapest as a memorial to Eugene's most significant victory – the Battle of Zenta in 1697. This decisive engagement marked a turning point in the Austro-Turkish War, with Eugene's forces successfully halting the Ottoman advance towards Central Europe. Eugene's military prowess extended beyond the Battle of Zenta. He played a crucial role in the struggle for the liberation of Vienna from the Turks and in successive campaigns along the Danube. His political acumen was equally impressive, as he navigated the complexities of European politics and polity during the age of absolutism. The statue's setting in Budapest highlights the multifaceted nature of Eugene's legacy. As a Frenchman serving in the Habsburg Monarchy, he bridged the divide between different European powers and contributed significantly to the cultural exchange between nations. The modern equestrian monument stands as a testament to his enduring impact on Hungarian and European history. Eugene's story is a fascinating chapter in the annals of the 17th and 18th centuries, a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. His military and political achievements continue to resonate, making him a symbol of courage, determination, and diplomacy.
