| Description |
English:
During the
Livonian War
(1578-1582), between
Ivan the Terrible
of
Russia
and
Stefan Batory
of the
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
, the
city
was besieged by the Polish and Lithuanian forces. The joined army failed to capture the city, but forced Russia to return other territories and gained
Livonia
. The siege was the setting of this painting.
The
siege of Pskov
from the Polish perspective:
Batory at Pskov
, 1579.
Painting
by
Jan Matejko
in 1872. Matejko's allegoric painting illustrates the concept of
romantic nationalism
: the Muscovites are represented doing homage to the Polish king, which appear victorious, although in reality Pskov never fell to the Poles, as the conflict ended
with negotiations
before the siege was concluded.
Deutsch:
Während des
Livländischen Krieges
(1578-1582) zwischen
Iwan dem Schrecklichen
von Russland und
Stefan Batory
von
Polen-Litauen
wurde
Pskow
von den polnischen und litauischen Truppen belagert. Dem vereinten Heer gelang es nicht, die Stadt einzunehmen, aber es zwang Russland zur Rückgabe anderer Gebiete und gewann
Livland
. Die Belagerung war der Schauplatz dieses Gemäldes. Die Belagerung von Pskow aus der polnischen Perspektive: Batory bei Pskow, 1579. Gemälde von
Jan Matejko
aus dem Jahr 1872. Matejkos allegorisches Gemälde veranschaulicht das Konzept des romantischen Nationalismus: Die Moskauer huldigen dem polnischen König, der siegreich erscheint, obwohl Pskow in Wirklichkeit nie an die Polen gefallen ist, da der Konflikt mit Verhandlungen beendet wurde, bevor die Belagerung abgeschlossen war.
