EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a significant historical moment. The image depicts Captain de Bours, a prominent figure of his era, as he ceremoniously hands over the keys to the Citadel Antwerp. This mid-16th to early 17th-century artwork by Artokoloro showcases the artist's mastery of pen and brown ink, brushwork, wash techniques, and incised detailing. The circular sheet measures an impressive diameter of 159 cm, making it impossible for anyone not to be drawn into its intricate beauty. As we gaze upon this piece, we can almost feel the weight of history unfolding before our eyes. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of Maerten Vos' brush captures the essence and grandeur of this pivotal event. This drawing transports us back to a time when power was symbolized by physical objects such as keys. It reminds us that even in those times long gone by, leaders had their own ways of asserting authority and control over their territories. Through this artwork's visual storytelling prowess, we are reminded once again that art has always been a powerful medium for preserving history and immortalizing moments that shaped our world. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past as they serve as windows into understanding who we were then and who we have become now.
