| One can never have enough of the truth that the largest chance to win a battle lies with that commander who has the best knowledge of the very course of the battle. Prince Eugene of Savoy knew this very well, on that 5 August of 1716, when he commanded the battle from Kavalir, the highest point on the Fortress, surmounting even the front plane: he had a perfect overview. Besides, he had known, as early as in the remote 1711, when he had ordered its construction, that he would need Kavalir. Much larger and more important battles are conducted even outside battlefields, without blood and casualties, without arms and armies, yet with 'armies' of ideas, which hover windborne somewhere on the tiny abridgment between the Heaven and the Earth. Masters, capable of recognizing them, can capture and incorporate them into their paintings, which later become available even to simple mortals. In the same way, from Kavalir, Emil Bob had the best view of all the four sides of the Vojvodina World, so he could capture any picture of the Nature – that of yesterday, of today, of tomorrow. |
