Suleiman at the Walls of Vienna
“The outskirts of Vienna, October 1529. Janissaries and Ottoman engineers dig saps beneath the bastions. Foreground shows powder kegs being trundled forward and a sapper firing a mine; midground reveals Suleiman the Magnificent on horseback under a tugra-emblazoned tent; the city's Stephansdom spire rises through cold autumn mist over a battlefield strewn with sodden trenches.”
