EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Battle of Nicopolis, a significant historical event that took place from 25th to 28th September in 1396. The facsimile of a miniature conserved in the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul beautifully captures the intensity and grandeur of this medieval clash between Catholic forces led by Sigismund of Luxemburg and Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I. The image portrays a Bulgarian fortress on the Danube, serving as the backdrop for this monumental confrontation. With approximately 12,000 French troops under Jean de Nevers joining Sigismund's army, they faced off against Bayezid I's formidable Ottoman forces. This final crusade marked an important moment in history as it resulted in an Islamic victory over the Crusaders. The composition depicts soldiers from both sides engaged in fierce combat within their respective tents and amidst gothic architecture. The Turkish School's masterful use of color lithography brings vibrancy to every detail, emphasizing the chaos and brutality of battle. Notably, King Sigismund himself is depicted among his troops, showcasing his leadership during this critical conflict. His role as both King of Hungary and Holy Roman Emperor further underscores the significance of this battle. This remarkable print serves as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice displayed by all those involved in this historic clash between East and West. It offers viewers a glimpse into one of Europe's most pivotal moments during the late Middle Ages.
