EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic events of the Siege of Stralsund in 1678. The image showcases the aftermath of two relentless days of bombing, leaving the once thriving city heavily destroyed and in ruins. In a somber surrender, Stralsund is handed over to Brandenburg soldiers who now occupy its war-torn streets. The artist, Jan Luyken from Amsterdam, skillfully depicts the chaos and devastation that unfolded during this intense siege. His etching on paper brings to life the harrowing reality faced by both defenders and civilians caught in this brutal conflict. The composition highlights the strategic importance of position warfare as armies fought for control over key territories. The title "Stralsond" boldly imprinted on the object emphasizes its significance as a historical artifact documenting this pivotal moment in time. Dating back to 1680, this print serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's capacity for destruction during times of war. It stands as a testament to resilience and survival amidst unimaginable hardship. As part of Liszt Collection's vast array of historical prints, this particular piece offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon our shared history while honoring those who endured such turbulent times
