EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intense Battle of Lepanto in 1571, as depicted in the Bibliotheque des Croisades by J-F Michaud. Created by the talented Gustave Dore in 1877, this lithograph captures a pivotal moment during the naval clash between the Holy League and Ottoman Turks. The battle was fought with great determination to gain control over the Venetian Island of Cyprus. The Holy League, consisting of Spain, Venice, and supported by the Pope, aimed to thwart Ottoman expansion into their territories. Although victorious in terms of military might, they were unable to reclaim Cyprus from their adversaries. In this dramatic illustration, we witness chaos unfolding on turbulent waters. Ships are seen capsizing and sinking amidst a stormy sea while brave survivors cling desperately onto lifeboats and rafts. The sailors' faces reveal both fear and resilience as they struggle against drowning. The intricate details captured by Dore bring this historical event to life - from tangled rigging and broken masts to billowing sails amidst cannon fire. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during these epic battles for power and control. As an invaluable piece from a private collection now available through Fine Art Finder's archive at Bridgeman Images, it allows us to delve into history's pages and appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance without commercial intent or use mentioned here.
