During the Victorian Era, these battles were repeatedly memorialized. The siege of Sevastopol was the subject of Crimean soldier Leo Tolstoy's "Sebastopol Sketches" and the subject of the first Russian feature film, "Defence of Sevastopol". The Battle of Balaklava was made famous by Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade" and Robert Gibb's painting "The Thin Red Line". A panorama of the siege itself was painted by Franz Roubaud.
