EDITORS COMMENTS
The Siege of the Shumen Fortress in 1828, captured by artist August Friedrich Andreas Campe around 1830, portrays a pivotal moment in history. This remarkable watercolour print, now part of a private collection, transports us to the heart of the intense conflict that unfolded in Germany's Balkans during the Russo-Turkish War. The artwork vividly depicts a scene from the front lines as Bulgarian soldiers and grenadiers launch an offensive against the formidable Ottoman Empire. The warriors' determined expressions reveal their unwavering commitment to protect their homeland and secure victory for their regiment. Campe's masterful use of graphic arts brings every detail to life - from the towering fortress walls to the tumultuous waters surrounding it. The composition skillfully captures both the chaos and bravery witnessed during this historic siege. This etching serves as a poignant reminder of Russia's military service and its role in shaping Russian history. It also sheds light on lesser-known aspects of warfare such as marine battalions and imperial guardsmen who played crucial roles on land and sea. As we gaze upon this fine art image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one chapter within an extensive narrative that ultimately led to peace with the Treaty of Adrianople. Let us appreciate this significant piece not only for its artistic value but also for its ability to preserve our collective memory.
