EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bird's-eye view of western Greece, with Vonitsa at its center. Taken from the Pictorial History of the Greek War of Independence by Greek School in the 19th century, this image offers a glimpse into a significant period in history. The private collection piece showcases how Greeks were aided by their British and Russian French allies during their struggle against Turkish forces supported by the Egyptian fleet. The photograph depicts a rebel ship stationed near a formidable fortress, symbolizing the strength and determination of the Greek army during their revolt against Ottoman rule. It serves as a reminder of the battles fought between Christianity and Islam, highlighting both naval and coastal warfare strategies employed during this time. The ultimate outcome was marked by victory for Greece, leading to its establishment as an independent nation through treaty negotiations. This momentous event is beautifully captured in this print from The Stapleton Collection. With intricate details showcasing troop movements along the shoreline and maritime activities off Constantinople's coast, this image provides valuable insight into military operations during 1821-27. It portrays not only armed forces but also highlights key elements such as ports, coastlines, and seas that played crucial roles in shaping history. As part of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print stands as an artistic testament to bravery and resilience exhibited by those involved in one of Greece's most defining moments – its fight for independence.
