EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Surrender of the Russian General at Kinburn" takes us back to a significant moment in history during the Crimean War. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of military conquest and surrender. The scene depicted is one of intense drama and tension. The Russian general, standing tall amidst his defeated troops, reluctantly hands over his sword to the victorious British forces. The composition skillfully portrays both triumph and defeat simultaneously – a poignant reminder of the brutal realities of war. The setting is Kinburn, Ukraine – a location that witnessed numerous battles during this conflict. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back to that fateful day in November 1855 when this event unfolded. The attention to detail in capturing uniforms, weaponry, and facial expressions adds depth and authenticity to the engraving. This print was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on November 24th, 1855. It serves as a testament not only to artistic talent but also as documentation of important moments in world history. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder has preserved this remarkable piece from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance. Through this engraving, we can reflect upon the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides while gaining insight into one chapter of the larger narrative that shaped our world today: The Crimean War.
