EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a detailed section of Gerolamo Induno's monumental painting, "Battle of the Chernaya, 1857". The original oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 292x494 cm and is housed in the Fondazione Cariplo in Milan, Lombardy, Italy. The depicted scene portrays the historic Battle of the Chernaya that took place on August 16,1855. It was a fierce confrontation between Russian troops and a coalition force consisting of French, Sardinian, and Ottoman soldiers on the outskirts of Sevastopol during the Crimean War. Ultimately, this battle resulted in a Russian retreat and marked victory for the French, Sardinians, and Turks. Within this detail from Induno's masterpiece are various elements that evoke both awe and somber reflection. Soldiers clad in military uniforms can be seen engaged in combat while flags flutter defiantly amidst chaos. The presence of clergymen attending to wounded soldiers highlights not only their physical injuries but also emphasizes themes of faith and sacrifice. The artist skillfully captures the aftermath of war with carts carrying away casualties as generals survey the battlefield strewn with fallen soldiers. This poignant image serves as a reminder of both human resilience and tragedy amid armed conflict. Induno's meticulous attention to historical accuracy transports viewers back to this significant moment in history when nations clashed for supremacy. Through his brushstrokes, he immortalizes not just a battle but also commemorates those who fought bravely on all sides
