EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of "The expulsion of Polish invaders from the Moscow Kremlin, 1612" as depicted by artist Ernest Ernestovich Lissner in the late 19th or early 20th century. The painting portrays a significant event in Russian history when Moscow was occupied by the army of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from 1610 to 1612. During this tumultuous period, King Sigismund III of Poland sought to claim the Russian throne for himself. However, determined Russians rallied together and successfully expelled the Polish invaders from their beloved fortress, symbolizing a triumphant end to foreign occupation. Lissner's artwork vividly showcases the intense battle scene outside the walls of Moscow's iconic Kremlin. Thick smoke billows into an overcast sky as brave soldiers engage in fierce warfare against their adversaries. The artist skillfully depicts men fighting valiantly for their country's freedom amidst crumbling buildings and war-torn surroundings. Preserved within the State Museum of History in Moscow, this oil painting serves as a testament to Russia's resilience and unwavering spirit throughout its rich history. It stands as a reminder that even during times of invasion and occupation, unity and determination can lead to victory. Through Lissner's masterful brushstrokes and use of color, viewers are transported back in time to witness this pivotal moment firsthand. This powerful image encapsulates both historical significance and artistic brilliance while honoring those who fought bravely for their homeland.
