EDITORS COMMENTS
This detail from Witold Piwnicki's painting, "Battle of Cecora," showcases the intensity and chaos of the September-October 1620 clash between Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth forces, led by Hetman Stanisław Żółkiewski, and the Ottoman Empire. The Battle of Cecora, a significant episode in the Polish-Ottoman War (1620-1621), took place near the Moldavian city of Cecora. Piwnicki masterfully captures the moment as the Polish troops, clad in red cloaks and wielding swords, charge towards the Ottoman forces. The Ottoman soldiers, wearing turbans and animal skins, are shown in a defensive stance, with some attempting to mount their horses in preparation for the attack. In the foreground, a leopard skin-draped ruler, likely Hetman Żółkiewski himself, directs his troops with a raised flag. The painting, created between 1877 and 1878, is a testament to the 17th century European conflict. The Battle of Cecora ended in a Polish victory, with the Ottoman forces suffering heavy losses and the Polish forces emerging triumphant. This detailed image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of the courage and determination displayed by the soldiers on both sides during this significant historical episode. This detail is part of the 19th Century Polish Art Gallery collection at Sukiennice Museum in Krakow, Poland, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and artistic heritage of the region.
