EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as Emperor Koenraad III fearlessly cuts through a Saracen warrior during a fierce cavalry battle. The intensity of the scene is palpable, with the upper left mark indicating its placement on folio 246, symbolizing its significance within the context of militant proselytizing and religious warfare, particularly the Crusades. Koenraad III of Hohenstaufen, revered as both King of Germany and emperor of the Roman Empire, emerges as a formidable figure who embodies strength and determination. His decisive strike against his Saracen opponent showcases his unwavering commitment to defending his empire's interests. Jan Luyken's masterful etching skillfully brings this historical event to life. Created in Amsterdam in 1683, this paper print measures an impressive height of 167 mm and width of 133 mm. It serves as a testament to Luyken's artistic prowess and attention to detail. The image holds immense historical value by shedding light on an era defined by religious conflicts and territorial disputes. As viewers engage with this powerful artwork from Liszt Collection (not associated with any commercial use), they are transported back in time to witness firsthand one man's valiant efforts amidst the chaos of battle.
