EDITORS COMMENTS
Death of Josef Sulkowski, 1799 (litho) captures a haunting moment in history. This powerful lithograph by the Polish School from the 18th century depicts the tragic demise of Josef Sulkowski, an aide to Napoleon during his campaign in Egypt. The scene unfolds within the confines of a fortress gate, as soldiers and insurgents clash amidst chaos and violence. Sulkowski, mounted on his horse, finds himself caught in the midst of this turmoil. In a cruel twist of fate, he is thrown from his steed and mercilessly beaten to death by enraged natives. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the brutality that unfolded during this revolt against French invasion in Cairo. The artist's attention to detail brings forth both the physicality and emotional intensity of this historical event. Housed at Czartoryski Museum in Cracow, Poland, this artwork stands as a testament to Polish artistry and its ability to capture significant moments with profound impact. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to that fateful day when Sulkowski met his untimely end. Through this image, we bear witness not only to one man's tragic fate but also to the larger struggles faced by those embroiled in war. It serves as a solemn tribute not just to Josef Sulkowski but also to all those who have lost their lives fighting for causes they believed in.
