Zichy states in part `…I venture to announce that I have painted again a very strong but as always tendentious painting entitled ''Der Triumph des Genius der Verwüstung'' (''The triumph of the genius of devastation''). This new picture of 37 size will create a protest and a howl of fear at the Paris world exhibition.´, further adding `After a very hard struggle with the clergy it will be exhibited in Pest, and later in Vienna. Now I am waiting for the inspection and permission… of the Petersburg Academy to send it to Russia…I can already hear in advance the denying of my impertinent inquiry! I also painted… another mild tendentious painting about wine…´ G to VG
