EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Battle of Tripolitza and surrounding villages" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Greek War of Independence. Plate 8 from the Pictorial History of the Greek War of Independence by General Makryjannis, this colour lithograph showcases the fierce struggle for freedom against the oppressive Ottoman Empire between 1821 and 1829. The image portrays an intense landscape filled with armies engaged in combat. The Turkish forces, represented by figures clad in black attire, stand as a formidable opposition to the Greek fighters striving for independence. However, amidst this chaotic scene emerges a glimmer of hope - soldiers dressed in Russian uniforms join their Greek allies on the battlefield. The composition skillfully captures both the devastation inflicted upon these villages and the determination etched on every face involved in this historic conflict. It serves as a reminder that battles fought for liberty are never without sacrifice or hardship. Preserved within a private collection but now available through Fine Art Finder, this artwork allows us to witness firsthand one chapter of Greece's arduous journey towards independence. As we gaze upon it, we cannot help but be moved by its historical significance and appreciate those who fought valiantly for their nation's sovereignty.
