EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a dramatic moment of conquest on the waters of Leiden, The Netherlands. Painted by Jan Luyken in 1699, it depicts the fearless Spanish soldier Pietro Ciacconne as he valiantly takes control of a boat amidst fierce fighting. With an ax firmly gripped in his hand, Ciacconne leaps fearlessly onto the enemy vessel, surprising its sailors who scramble to defend themselves. The intensity of the battle is palpable as swords clash and bodies collide. Meanwhile, other boats can be seen in the background engaged in their own struggles for dominance. As our eyes follow every detail of this historical scene, we cannot help but marvel at Luyken's skillful brushstrokes that bring life and movement to each figure. The artist's attention to detail is evident even down to the splashes of water created by Ciacconne's daring jump. This print serves not only as a visual feast for art enthusiasts but also as a valuable resource for researchers studying naval warfare during this period. It offers a glimpse into an important event that shaped Leiden's history and showcases the bravery and determination displayed by soldiers like Pietro Ciacconne. Quint Lox has expertly captured all these elements within his caption, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance contained within this remarkable piece from Jan Luyken's oeuvre.
