EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving titled "Sabatz, illustration from The Liber Chronicle" takes us back to the year 1476, when King Matthias of Hungary achieved a significant victory over the Turkish armies at Sabatz. Created by artists Wolgemuth and Pleydenwurff and published in Nuremberg in 1493, this print showcases the fortified military outpost that played a pivotal role in this historic event. The artwork transports us to the walls of Sabatz, revealing its impressive fortifications and barricades. The intricate woodcut details highlight every aspect of this Serbian city's defensive structures, from its towering gates to its sturdy walls. As we delve into the image's depths, we witness a glimpse of Eastern Europe during this tumultuous period. King Matthias Corvinus emerges as a central figure in both Hungarian and Croatian history as he successfully led numerous military campaigns throughout his reign. His triumph at Sabatz further solidified his reputation as an accomplished ruler. Notably, Matthias was also elected King of Bohemia in 1469 and later adopted the title Duke of Austria in 1487. This rare piece from The Stapleton Collection offers us an invaluable window into medieval times. Its detailed engravings provide insight into architectural styles prevalent during that era while capturing historical events with remarkable accuracy. As we admire this engraving by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded once again of humanity's enduring fascination with our past and how art can beautifully preserve these moments for generations to come.
