EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Malakoff redoubt, battery Gervais, and the rear of the Redan during the Crimean War in 1855. The artist behind this masterpiece is William Simpson (1832-1898), whose attention to detail and artistic skill bring this scene to life. The image showcases a crucial moment in history when France and Great Britain joined forces against Russian forces in Sevastopol. The black sea looms ominously in the background as artillery batteries stand ready for battle. This lithograph-turned-watercolour beautifully portrays the intensity of war with its vivid colors and meticulous brushstrokes. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported back to a time filled with tension, bravery, and sacrifice. It serves as a reminder of the atrocities committed during war but also highlights humanity's resilience amidst chaos. Now housed at the State Museum of Defense in Sevastopol, this piece stands as an important testament to academic art from that era. Its significance lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its ability to educate future generations about a pivotal chapter in world history.
