EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Burning of Stry, near Lemberg, in Galicia" by Johann Nepomuk Schonberg takes us back to a dramatic moment in history. The scene depicts a raging fire engulfing the town of Stry, located near Lemberg in Galicia. The artist's attention to detail and skillful rendering bring this chaotic event to life. In the foreground, we see a group of horses frantically trying to escape the inferno. Their wild eyes and flaring nostrils convey their fear as they gallop through the smoke-filled air. Among them are racehorses, ponies, shire horses, and stallions - an eclectic mix of animals united by their instinct for survival. The burning buildings create an eerie glow against the darkened sky, casting long shadows on the surrounding landscape. The destruction is palpable; homes reduced to ashes and billowing plumes of smoke filling every corner of the composition. This historical illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News in May 1886, providing readers with a vivid account of this devastating event. It serves as a reminder not only of human vulnerability but also our ability to endure even amidst chaos. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from its private collection so that we may bear witness to both the power and resilience captured within it.
