EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print from the Liszt Collection captures a chilling moment in history, depicting Portuguese Admiral Fereyra Andrade forcing parents to commit an unthinkable act. The image showcases the depths of human cruelty and desperation during this dark period. In stark detail, we witness the harrowing scene unfold. The admiral's commanding presence looms over a devastated couple, their infant cradled in their arms. With marked brutality, they are coerced into sacrificing their own child by placing it inside a mortar. This heart-wrenching act is etched forever in history as a symbol of violent death and unimaginable suffering. The artist Jan Luyken skillfully portrays the anguish on the faces of these tormented parents as they grapple with this unbearable choice. Through his masterful use of paper and etching techniques, he conveys every nuance of pain and despair. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder that throughout time, innocent lives have been mishandled and maltreated at the hands of those in power. It compels us to reflect on our shared humanity and question how such atrocities could occur. As we gaze upon this print, let us not forget that it represents more than just a historical event; it stands as a testament to resilience and our collective responsibility to ensure that such horrors never happen again.
