EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Fire at Long Market, c. 1650" takes us back in time to witness a dramatic event that unfolded centuries ago. Painted by Bartolomaus Miltvitz or Milwitz, this oil on panel masterpiece measures 26x49 cm and is currently housed in the Muzeum Narodowe in Gdansk, Poland. The image showcases the medieval Polish architecture of the town hall square engulfed in flames during a devastating fire. The bell tower stands tall amidst chaos, symbolizing resilience and survival. This particular town hall had already been rebuilt once after a previous fire in 1556 but managed to withstand this catastrophic event. As night falls upon the city, the nocturne atmosphere intensifies as fiery embers light up the sky. The burning buildings create an incendiary spectacle that captures both tragedy and awe-inspiring beauty simultaneously. This historical painting not only serves as a visual record of past events but also reflects the spirit of perseverance ingrained within Polish history. It reminds us of how communities can rise from ashes and rebuild even stronger than before. Displayed proudly at eNational Museum in Gdansk, this artwork offers visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in Polish heritage while contemplating the power of human determination against adversity.
