1746 Building Entrance Foreground Gate Ladders Pulls Simon Fokke Stood Workers Collapses Mentioned
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in history - the collapse of a building. The scene is filled with chaos as workers who were standing on ladders against the facade are seen falling down. In the foreground, on the right side, stands the master builder, visibly shocked by what he witnesses. He instinctively pulls off his wig from his head in disbelief. The image portrays a sense of urgency and danger, emphasizing the sheer force and destruction caused by this collapsing building. The artist behind this masterpiece is Simon Fokke, whose name is mentioned on the object itself. Dating back to 1746, this etching on paper measures 134 mm in height and 84 mm in width. It provides us with a glimpse into Amsterdam's architectural history during that time period. As we observe this historic event frozen in time through Simon Fokke's lens, it serves as a reminder of how fragile our built environment can be. This print sparks curiosity about what led to such an unfortunate incident and leaves us contemplating its aftermath
