EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a chilling moment in history - the violent demise of Grand Visor Kara Mustafa. In 1683, this influential figure in the Turkish army met his tragic end by being strangled with a silk cord. The title on the object emphasizes the significance of this event, highlighting its impact on both local and global affairs. The print itself is marked with "fol. 273" in the upper right corner, indicating its place within a larger collection or series. The artist behind this haunting depiction is Caspar Luyken, whose name is mentioned on the object. Created in 1689 using paper and etching techniques, this small yet powerful artwork measures just 115 mm by 135 mm. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to that fateful year when Kara Mustafa's life was abruptly cut short. The intensity of his violent death by strangling is palpable through Luyken's skillful rendering. This historical artifact serves as a somber reminder of power struggles and political intrigue during that era. While it remains unclear what purpose or context surrounds this particular print within the Liszt Collection, one cannot deny its ability to evoke curiosity and contemplation about an enigmatic chapter in history.
