EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Glorification of John Sobieski III at the Battle of Chocim" transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. Created by Romeyn de Hooghe, a Dutch artist known for his intricate engravings, this print measures 48.7x71.2 cm and is housed in the Czartoryski Museum in Cracow, Poland. The scene depicted here showcases the glorification of John Sobieski III (1629-96), who was elected as King of Poland following his triumph at the Battle of Chocim in 1674. This significant victory marked the defeat of a Turkish invasion and solidified Sobieski's reputation as a fearless leader. In this allegorical representation, we witness an awe-inspiring sight: Sobieski astride his majestic horse, rearing up against the backdrop of an expansive sky filled with billowing clouds. The banner held high above him symbolizes victory over the Ottoman Empire and serves as a testament to his military prowess. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded not only of Sobieski's remarkable achievements but also of the broader historical context surrounding this event. The Islamic Fearful Lion from the North had successfully defended Europe against Muslim invaders during a time when tensions between East and West were palpable. Through its meticulous details and powerful symbolism, this engraving captures both the intensity and significance of one man's triumph on behalf of an entire nation. It stands
