EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Straits of Yenikale with the Bay and Town of Kertch from the old Fortress of Yenikale" transports us back to a significant moment in history. The image, captured by William Simpson in 1855 during the Crimean War, showcases the breathtaking landscape surrounding the fortress of Yeni-Kale near Kerch. The lithograph, beautifully colored by T Picken, depicts a scene filled with both tranquility and tension. In the foreground, we see cannons positioned strategically on top of fortifications, symbolizing military strength and preparedness. Beyond that lies a sprawling camp where soldiers gather amidst their daily routines. As our gaze extends further into the distance, we are greeted by an enchanting view of Kertch Bay and its charming town. The calm waters reflect the vibrant colors of dusk as ships sail gracefully through them. This juxtaposition between war and serenity encapsulates the duality often found in times of conflict. The historical significance is not lost within this artwork either; it serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil, life continues to thrive. The fortress itself was repurposed as a Russian military hospital during this time but has roots dating back to its construction by Ottoman Turks centuries earlier. Through this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy Bridgeman Images, we are transported to another era where art meets history seamlessly. It invites us to appreciate both beauty and strife while contemplating how these elements intertwine throughout human existence.
