Defeated. Requiem (1880)
By Vasily Vereshchagin
Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow

Vasily Vereshchagin, one of the most fearless painters of war, shows not the clash of armies… but the silence that follows.

Across a barren steppe, the battlefield is reduced to bones—thousands of skulls scattered like forgotten seeds.
No banners remain. No heroes survive.
Only death keeps its crown.

At the edge of this desolation, two figures stand in mourning. They cannot bring back the d3ad; they can only whisper a prayer, a requiem for lives erased.

This is not victory. It is not defeat.
It is the truth of war—where triumph turns to dust, and the only inheritance is memory.
