"Corner of the Turkish Redoubt Captured on May 30 but Abandoned on May 31" is an 1877 painting by Vasily Vereshchagin, depicting a barren landscape with a rocky hill and a distant structure. The painting, part of a series documenting the Russo-Turkish War, captures the stark reality of war and its aftermath. This work is now in the Museum of Russian Art in Kyiv, Ukraine, and is a testament to Vereshchagin’s realism and his desire to challenge the romanticized views of war prevalent in his time.
