EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving depicts the historic siege and capture of Jassy in 1788 by the Russian army. The artwork, created by the German School in the 18th century, is now housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. Jassy, known as Iasi today, served as the capital of Moldavia for centuries until 1861. During the Russo-Turkish war of 1787-92, it became a significant battleground between Russia and Turkey. Field Marshal Rumyantsev led the Russian forces that ultimately captured Jassy from Ottoman control. The image showcases a pivotal moment during this conflict when Jassy fell under Russian occupation. The artist skillfully captures both chaos and triumph on this battlefield scene. Soldiers engage in fierce combat while cannons fire relentlessly against fortified walls. The intensity of emotions is palpable as soldiers fight for victory. The Siege of Jassy was a turning point that eventually led to peace negotiations between Russia and Turkey. In 1792, the Peace of Jassy officially ended this war and established new territorial boundaries. This historical print not only commemorates an important military event but also serves as a testament to artistic talent from centuries past. It allows us to glimpse into Eastern European history and witness one chapter in Moldavia's complex journey towards independence.
