The Wounded Count Ernst Rudiger von Starhemberg - A Symbol of Heroism and Resilience in the Siege of Vienna, 1683
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this powerful engraving by Oskar Pletsch, we are transported back to the year 1683 during the Great Turkish War. The image captures a pivotal moment in history when Vienna was under siege by Ottoman forces, and at its heart stands Count Ernst Rudiger von Starhemberg. Count Starhemberg, depicted here among his fellow defenders of Vienna, embodies bravery and determination as he bears the wounds sustained in battle. His presence serves as a testament to the unwavering spirit that fueled their resistance against overwhelming odds. As commander of the Austrian army during this critical period, Count Starhemberg played a vital role in organizing and leading the defense efforts. Despite being injured himself, he remained resolute in his commitment to protect his city from falling into enemy hands. The engraving not only showcases Count Starhemberg's personal sacrifice but also pays homage to all those who fought alongside him. It serves as a reminder of their collective strength and resilience against adversity. This historical artwork is part of Otto von Corvin and Wilhelm Held's "Weltgeschichte Fur Das Volk" published in 1880. Thanks to digital restoration techniques applied to this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we can now appreciate its intricate details with enhanced clarity.
