Attack of the Saracens on the Island of Malta, defended by the Knights Hospitaller in 1565
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Great Siege of Malta. Painted by an anonymous Italian artist from the 17th century, this oil on canvas artwork depicts the valiant defense of Malta against invading Ottoman forces. The scene is filled with action and intensity as Turkish ships surround the island fortress, while courageous knights and Maltese civilians stand united to repel their attackers. The painting showcases a diverse array of characters - soldiers clad in traditional armor, mounted cavalry charging into battle, and women and children standing defiantly alongside their defenders. The significance of this victory cannot be overstated. With only a small force at their disposal, approximately 2,000 footsoldiers and 400 Maltese fighters stood strong against overwhelming odds. Their resilience not only saved Malta but also became one of Europe's most celebrated events during the sixteenth century. Leonard de Selva's expert photography beautifully captures every detail of this historic masterpiece housed in the Museum of Fine Art in Malta. From intricate brushstrokes to vibrant colors that bring life to each figure depicted, this print allows viewers to appreciate both artistry and historical importance. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of bravery but also unity in times of adversity – a timeless message that resonates across centuries.
