EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print depicts a haunting scene from history - the Ottoman Turks burning the remains of St Sava in punishment for an uprising by the Serbians. The image transports us back to Belgrade in 1596, where tensions between the Ottoman Empire and Serbia were at their peak. The composition is filled with symbolism and emotion. In the foreground, we see a group of monks witnessing this gruesome act, their faces etched with grief and disbelief. The flames engulfing St Sava's remains serve as a powerful reminder of the brutality inflicted upon those who dared to challenge Ottoman rule. The print not only captures a pivotal moment in Balkan history but also highlights the clash between Christianity and Islam during this period. It serves as a poignant testament to religious persecution and oppression faced by Serbian Orthodox Christians under Ottoman rule. Through its intricate details and vibrant colors, this artwork invites us to reflect on themes such as rebellion, faith, power dynamics, and cultural identity. It reminds us that history is often shaped by acts of resistance against oppressive forces. As we gaze upon this historical artifact preserved through time, let it serve as a somber reminder of past struggles while inspiring hope for a future built on tolerance, understanding, and respect for diverse cultures and religions.
