'Leaving Vienna' by Józef Brandt
 
Slightly Brighter

Painting by Józef Brandt. 'Leaving Vienna' or 'Return from Vienna'. Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth army returning with loot after defeating the Ottoman Empire forces sieging Vienna, during the battle of Vienna (1683). One of the best Brandt's - double exotic - PLC and the Ottomans on one picture.

Linked at Józef Brandt’s Gallery and battle of Vienna.

  • Comment: the source ([1], linked at [2]) should be given on the image description page. It would be nice if that page also gave more information on the painting itself (72×110cm, oil on canvas, painted when?; in a private collection). Despite the interesting subject (at least, interesting to those who can grasp and appreciate the subtle point of both Ottomans and Polish warriors being shown), I fail to see what makes this image so outstanding that it should be a featured picture. On a side note, Józef Brandt’s Gallery contains several times the Polish text "Olej na płótnie" (oil on canvas). That should be fixed. Furthermore, I wonder whether having such a gallery here on Wikipedia is appropriate at all. Why not just link to this gallery? It's more comprehensive anyway...
