EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the tragic scene of a woman's suicide in Xanten, as depicted by artists Jan Luyken and Jan Claesz ten Hoorn in 1699. The image portrays an overwhelming sense of despair and violence, with the woman seen hanging from her neck, her lifeless body engulfed in flames within a kitchen setting. The composition evokes a profound feeling of darkness and hopelessness, as the woman's decision to end her own life is portrayed through the use of a rope around her neck. In one hand, she holds sticks ablaze with fire, symbolizing both her inner turmoil and the destructive nature of her act. Adding to the intensity of this depiction are Roman soldiers witnessing this horrific event unfold. Their presence suggests that perhaps societal pressures or external forces played a role in driving this desperate act. Jan Luyken and Jan Claesz ten Hoorn masterfully convey raw emotions through their artistry, leaving viewers captivated by the sheer tragedy captured within this single frame. Quint Lox's inclusion of this powerful print from Liszt Collection serves as a reminder that mental health struggles can lead individuals down dark paths if left unaddressed.
