This painting once decorated Abbas Mirza's palace. Depicted on this huge canvas is the defeat of the Russian Trinity Infantry Regiment in the battle near Sultanabad, which took place on 13 February 1812. Persian soldiers wearing European uniforms bear Persian banners, on which a lion holds a sabre in its paw against a background of the rising sun.[1]
TheBattle of Sultanabad (Persian: نبرد سلطانآباد) occurred on February 13, 1812 between theRussian Empire and thePersian Empire. In the resulting battle, the Russians were surrounded and routed.
The Persians, numerically superior, were led byAbbas Mirza and fought the Russians. A Persian offensive into Georgia, with Persia's British and French-trainedNezam-e Jadid infantry,[5] initiated the battle. The Persians had also obtained European cannons from the French.[5]
The Persians won the battle by moving faster than the Russians and by attacking them near their camp with the reformed European-style infantry.[6] However, theBattle of Aslanduz and theSiege of Lankaran followed soon after, shifting the momentum of the war firmly in Russia's favor.[6]
The battle is considered the most shameful page of the war for the Russians[7]
