EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Battle of Lepanto: A Naval Clash of the Sixteenth Century" This map print depicts the pivotal naval battle that took place on October 10, 1571, in the Gulf of Corinth between the Ottoman fleet, led by Ali Pasha, and the Holy League, comprised of forces from Venice, the Pontifical States, and Spain, commanded by Juan de Austria, Alvaro de Bazan, and Alessandro Farnese. The map, originally drawn and housed in the General Archives of Simancas in Valladolid, Spain, provides a vertical, upright, and detailed representation of the battlefield. The colorful drawing masterfully illustrates the strategic positions of the two opposing fleets, with the Holy League's forces anchored on the left side and the Ottoman fleet on the right. The Battle of Lepanto was a significant turning point in European history, marking the first major victory against the Ottoman Empire's naval power. The Holy League's success not only halted the Ottoman expansion into Europe but also boosted morale and strengthened alliances among European powers. Key figures in the Holy League's command, such as Juan de Austria, Alvaro de Bazan, and Alessandro Farnese, are highlighted on the map, along with notable ships, including the Santa Cruz, commanded by the Marquis of Santa Cruz in 1526, and the Revenge, which played a crucial role in the battle. Other significant dates and events related to the Holy League and its commanders are also depicted on the map, including the Battle of the Saint Quentin in 1557, the Battle of Lepanto in 1571, and the Battle of the Dunes in 1600. This intricate and historically valuable map print offers a unique glimpse into the naval strategies and tactics employed during the Battle of Lepanto and the broader context of European power struggles in the late 16th century.
