EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Wallenstein the War Profiteer" by Arthur Moreland takes us back to a significant moment in history. This amusing and comical artwork, part of The History of the Hun series, offers a satirical take on the Thirty Years' War that ravaged Europe during the 17th century. In this scene, Wallenstein, known as the war profiteer, is depicted with humor and wit. As one of the central figures in this tumultuous period, he symbolizes greed and opportunism amidst religious conflict between Protestants and Catholics. The artist's clever portrayal highlights Wallenstein's cunning nature while shedding light on his role in exploiting war for personal gain. Set against a backdrop of Prague's iconic architecture, we witness Count Tilly and other historical figures engaging in humorous interactions with Wallenstein. Their exaggerated expressions add an entertaining touch to this thought-provoking piece. Moreland's digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this historic print. Through his artistic interpretation, we are transported back to 25 February 1634 when Germany was torn apart by political strife and religious tensions. This engraving not only provides amusement but also serves as a reminder of how power dynamics can shape history. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as corruption, religion, and human nature while appreciating the skillful artistry behind it all.
