The captivating print showcases a remarkable medal crafted in honor of Gerardus Oorthuys, the valiant captain of the frigate Den Briel. Created by the skilled hands of Noach van der Meer (II) between 1781 and 1782, this exquisite sculpture serves a specific function - to commemorate an awe-inspiring naval battle. The penning bears witness to Captain Oorthuys' triumph over his English opponent during a fierce encounter off the coast of Cadiz in May 1781. The crescent symbolizes his victorious spirit that overcame all odds on that fateful day. With its intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship, this medal stands as a testament to bravery and valor. Encased within an ornamental frame, every detail has been carefully considered to pay homage to Gerardus Oorthuys. The penny-like structure not only adds aesthetic appeal but also highlights the significance of this honorable achievement. As one gazes upon this extraordinary piece, they are transported back in time, reliving the glory days when battles were fought at sea. Quint Lox's masterful capture immortalizes both the artistry behind Noach van der Meer's creation and Captain Oorthuys' indomitable spirit. This print from Liszt Collection is more than just an image; it is a visual narrative that encapsulates history and heroism within its frame. Let it serve as a reminder of those who have gone before us, paving the way for freedom and inspiring future generations
