EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from 1795 captures a chilling scene of royal recreation during the reign of Catherine II. Seated on her majestic throne, Catherine receives the decapitated heads of the people of Poland from a military officer in charge of the Russian forces. The defeat of the Poles in 1794 is depicted through men bringing baskets overflowing with these gruesome trophies. Intriguingly, nestled in the lower right corner, we find a bust of Charles Fox observing this macabre spectacle over his right shoulder. This engraved image by Isaac Cruikshank showcases his exceptional illustrative technique and offers us a glimpse into history's dark chapters. The artwork exudes an air of nostalgia and romanticism, transporting us back to an era when traditional engravings were highly valued for their historical significance. Its aged appearance adds to its allure as it serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage. This print from the Liszt Collection invites us to reflect upon past events and contemplate their impact on our present-day world. It stands as a testament to humanity's capacity for both beauty and brutality, leaving viewers captivated by its historic artistry while also evoking feelings of unease at its subject matter.
