EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intense naval battles of Chesma and Lemnos that took place in 1770 and 1771. The artwork, part of a private collection, depicts the destruction of the Turkish fleet by Count Aleksey Orlov's Russian fleet during the Russo-Turkish War. Empress Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great, played a significant role in these historical events. The image is an exquisite copper engraving with vibrant watercolor details, created by Tobias Conrad Lotter in Germany. It beautifully captures the chaos and grandeur of battle on Chesma Bay, where Ottoman armada clashed with Russian forces. The graphic arts employed here bring to life this crucial moment in history. The Battle of Chesma was a turning point for Russia's involvement in Greek War of Independence against Ottoman Empire. This stunning visual representation serves as a testament to both military strategy and bravery exhibited by Count Aleksey Orlov and his troops. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of fine art, it transports us back to an era filled with war and conflict but also resilience and determination.
