EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Montenegrin Peasants deserting a Village set on fire by the Turks" transports us back to the 19th century Balkans, capturing a moment of turmoil and resilience. The scene depicts Montenegrin peasants fleeing their burning village, as flames engulf their homes in the background. Dressed in traditional attire, they hastily board boats to escape the ravages of war. This powerful image serves as an illustration for the Illustrated Times, dated 19 October 1861. It offers a glimpse into the hardships faced by Montenegro during its struggle against Turkish forces. The artist from English School skillfully captures both the chaos and determination of these peasants amidst destruction. The print not only showcases historical events but also highlights transportation methods of that era. Boats become vessels of hope and salvation for these desperate villagers seeking refuge elsewhere. This mode of transport symbolizes their resilience and resourcefulness in navigating through adversity. Through this artwork, we are reminded of Europe's diverse history and how conflicts have shaped nations like Montenegro. It serves as a poignant reminder of human strength in times of crisis while shedding light on lesser-known chapters within European history. This print is part of Bridgeman Images' collection, providing us with an opportunity to appreciate art that tells stories beyond what meets the eye.
