EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Russian and Turkish fleet before the Battle of Chesma on July 5,1770. The image, found in the esteemed Collection of State Hermitage in St. Petersburg, transports us back to a time when war and naval battles shaped nations. The etching showcases the grandeur and power of both fleets as they prepare for an intense confrontation. Neoclassical elements are evident in this German painting, depicting the meticulous attention to detail that was characteristic of this artistic style. The graphic arts employed here bring life to this historical event with precision and finesse. At its core, this image represents more than just a battle; it symbolizes political tensions between Russia and Turkey during the Russo-Turkish War. Empress Catherine II's reign is also highlighted through her trusted ally Count Aleksey Orlov's involvement in orchestrating this military operation. As we delve into history, we witness how these events laid groundwork for future conflicts such as the Greek War of Independence. Moreover, it underscores Great Britain's interest in supporting Russia against their common enemy - the Ottoman Empire. The destruction of the Turkish fleet at Chesma Bay becomes an unforgettable chapter within Russian history. This print serves as a testament to bravery, strategy, and ultimately victory over adversity on those tumultuous waters.
