EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the life of Charles XII, the King of Sweden, during his time at Bender. Taken from Aubry de La Mottrayes' "Travels throughout Europe, Asia and into Part of Africa" published in London in 1724, this engraving showcases the encampment and fortress where Charles XII resided during the Great Northern War. In this image, we see a bustling scene filled with soldiers and infantrymen engaged in various activities within the camp. The etching beautifully portrays the geographical features surrounding Bender, including the Dniester River flowing nearby. The presence of Turkish Janissaries adds an intriguing element to this historical depiction. William Hogarth's skillful execution brings depth and detail to every aspect of this artwork. His attention to architectural elements is evident as he meticulously illustrates the buildings that make up Bender's fortified walls. As we explore this print further, it becomes clear that Hogarth has successfully captured not only a significant moment in history but also conveys a sense of grandeur befitting Charles XII's status as monarch. This piece serves as both an artistic representation and a valuable historical document for those interested in understanding European warfare during the eighteenth century. Displayed proudly at The Met museum, this photograph allows us to delve into Swedish heritage while appreciating William Hogarth's remarkable talent for storytelling through art.
