EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a tumultuous era of history. Depicted in vivid detail, we witness a German rider cleaving through a Saracen warrior during a religious war or crusade. The upper right corner of the print reveals its source as folio 337, hinting at an extensive collection of militant proselytizing imagery. The scene is filled with intensity and violence, as the German rider fearlessly wields his weapon against his opponent. The artist's skillful etching technique brings every emotion to life, capturing the desperation and determination on both sides of this deadly encounter. Intriguingly, this artwork also delves into themes of violent death and maltreatment. It portrays not only the act of being killed but also being mishandled and maltreated by those seeking death themselves. This thought-provoking portrayal raises questions about human nature and our capacity for cruelty during times of conflict. Created by Jan Luyken in Amsterdam in 1683, this paper etching stands as a testament to both artistic talent and historical significance. Its compact dimensions (h 168 mm x w 138 mm) invite closer inspection, allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully in this dramatic moment from centuries past
