Created in 1892 by prominent Russian artist Franz Roubaud (1856-1928) it depicts an episode from the 1804-13 Russian-Persian war. A Russian detachment commanded by Pavel Karyagin is escaping from a larger Persian force and for horse-drawn artillery to overcome a ravine, soldiers pile into it to create a \u201clive bridge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Russian military historian Vasily Potto described the history behind the painting in his multi-volume work \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vehi.net\/istoriya\/potto\/kavkaz\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Caucasus War<\/a>,\u201d published in 1899. In June 1805, the army of Shah Fath Ali (also known as Baba Khan) crossed the Araxes river over Khodaferin bridge with the goal of recapturing Karabakh and its main fortress of Shushi, lost to the Russians just months earlier. With the majority of Russian forces preoccupied elsewhere, the Shah\u2019s army initially had a significant numeric advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Karyagin\u2019s 400-strong detachment was ordered to delay Persian progress towards Shusha and Ganja newly renamed Yelisavetpol, until Russian forces could be assembled and marched from Tiflis. The Russian detachment first engaged Persians near the Askeran fortress, and then holed up at the Shahbulag fortress (now known as Tigranakert) and drew a large portion of the Persian force away from the siege of Shushi.<\/p>\n<p>As Shahbulag came under artillery fire, Russians began to take serious casualties. With the help of their Armenian guide Avanes Yuzbashi, son of the Melik of Kusapat,\u00a0the Russians left Shahbulag in darkness and decamped towards the fortress (<em>sghnakh<\/em>) of Mukhrat \u2013 in vicinity of the modern-day village of Mokhratag in Mardakert district.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vehi.net\/istoriya\/potto\/kavkaz\/211.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">According to Potto<\/a>, the episode depicted by Roubaud occurred during this latter withdrawal, but rather than bodies of soldiers it involved a construction of a flimsy bridge made of rifles that soldiers kept in place manually. The artillery crossed successfully, but two soldiers received fatal injuries in the process.<\/p>\n<p>With the Shah\u2019s army unable to mass in the mountainous area around Mukhrat, Karyagin\u2019s force successfully defended until reinforcements arrived led by commander of the Russian forces in the Caucasus Prince Tsitsianov. Along with others, Avanes Yuzbashi was awarded, receiving a military rank, a gold medal and a lifetime pension. He lived into the 1850s,\u00a0becoming a key eyewitness for what became known as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=nstHAQAAMAAJ&amp;pg=PA217&amp;lpg=PA217&amp;dq=%D1%8E%D0%B7%D0%B1%D0%B0%D1%88i+%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%81+%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%8F%D0%B3%D0%B8%D0%BD&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=y5XFsUb2cg&amp;sig=hZaSV2DDlJ43uZRQvgC5YrvHm3Q&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjnzebA7dreAhUH0lMKHY3aC7UQ6AEwBXoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&amp;q=%D1%8E%D0%B7%D0%B1%D0%B0%D1%88i%20%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%81%20%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%8F%D0%B3%D0%B8%D0%BD&amp;f=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Karyagin\u2019s raid<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
