EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph print titled "Defeat of the Russians by Admiral Theophanes" takes us back to a significant moment in history, as depicted in Hutchinsons History of the Nations from 1915. Created by Allan Stewart, this artwork showcases an intense naval battle that unfolded during the late Roman Empire in the 10th century. Intriguingly, Admiral Theophanes, also known as "the Patrician" emerges as a heroic figure leading only fifteen ships against thousands of Russian barges carrying fierce warriors. With billowing sails and thick smoke engulfing the scene, this illustration captures the chaos and intensity of maritime warfare. Set against a backdrop of ancient Rome's majestic architecture, this image transports us to a time when naval engagements played a pivotal role in shaping empires. The fiery glow emanating from burning vessels adds an element of danger and urgency to the composition. This historical event serves as a testament to Admiral Theophanes' strategic brilliance and unwavering determination. It reminds us that even against overwhelming odds, courage and skill can triumph over adversity. As we gaze upon this engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of past conflicts but also of humanity's enduring spirit throughout history. This print invites us to reflect on our own battles – both personal and collective – while appreciating those who have fought valiantly before us.
