In 1683 a huge Turkish army attacked Vienna: Emperor Leopold abandoned his capital and fled to Passau. King John III Sobieski of Poland came to his aid and the Ottoman army was beaten decisively during the Battle of the Kahlenberg. Our unique painting commemorates this tipping point in history: this had been the deepest Turkish attack in the Christian world, from now on they were being pushed back.
