Hetman, a title associated with great military leaders and statesmen in the history of Ukraine. One such notable figure is Ivan Stepanovich Mazeppa, who rose to prominence during the Battle of Cecora in September-October 1620. His strategic brilliance and unwavering determination led his forces to victory against all odds. Another renowned Hetman was Bohdan Khmelnytsky, known as The Cossack Hetman of Ukraine. His leadership from 1648 to 1657 marked a significant turning point in Ukrainian history. A portrait captured after 1650 showcases his regal presence and strong character. The horse of Ivan Mazepa, a chromolitho masterpiece, symbolizes the bond between a Hetman and their trusted companion on the battlefield. It serves as a reminder of the courage and loyalty displayed by these esteemed leaders throughout history. In an engraving titled "Some Types of Soldiers of the Russian Army, " we catch a glimpse into the diverse array of soldiers under Hetmans' command. Their unity under strong leadership ensured victories that shaped nations. Petro Konashevych-Sahaidachny, another influential Hetman, left an indelible mark on Ukrainian history during his tenure from 1599 to 1622. A portrait from 1899-1900 immortalizes his legacy for future generations to admire. Bohdan Khmelnytsky's encounter with Tuhay Bey at Lviv is depicted in vivid detail through illustrations inspired by Henryk Sienkiewicz's book "With Fire and Sword. " This captivating scene captures both tension and respect between two formidable figures. Stefan Czarniecki, yet another remarkable Hetman whose portrait dates back to 1670, exemplified strength and wisdom as he led his troops towards triumphs on numerous battlefields. Andrzej Potocki stands out among other Hetmans as Field Crown Hetman during the 1670s.
