EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Captain Scheerenberg chases rioters, 1747" captures a pivotal moment in Amsterdam's history. Under the fearless leadership of Captain Abraham Scheerenberg, Orange-minded rioters are forcefully expelled from the town hall and Dam Square on November 9th, 1747. This engraving, created between 1782 and 1796 by Simon Fokke, depicts the valiant captain silencing the uproar that had engulfed the city. In this chaotic scene, we see a demonstrator defiantly sticking a disheveled bulb out of a window as a mocking reference to Captain Scheerenberg's rod worn for authority. The Nieuwe Kerk stands prominently in the middle of the image while part of the waag can be seen on the right side. Looting and strikes further contribute to this politically charged demonstration. This historic event unfolded within Amsterdam's City Hall (1655-1808), which was occupied during these turbulent times. The engraving itself measures approximately 181 mm in height and 203 mm in width. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, it serves as an enduring reminder of Captain Scheerenberg's determination to restore order amidst chaos and uphold lawfulness within his beloved city.
