1807 Forest Haarlem Lightning Oak Tree Spot Struck Title Viewed Walkers Haagse Bos Hendrik Schwegman Mentioned

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable event that took place in the Haagse Bos, also known as The Haagsche Bosch. On 8 May 1807, an oak tree standing proudly in this serene forest was struck by lightning, leaving it dramatically split down its core. The title on the object aptly describes this awe-inspiring occurrence. As walkers explore the enchanting beauty of Haagse Bos, their attention is inevitably drawn to this magnificent sight. The sheer force of nature's power is vividly captured in this image, reminding us of our own insignificance amidst such grandeur. Hendrik Schwegman, a prominent figure mentioned on the object, must have been one of those fortunate enough to witness and document this extraordinary event. His engraving skillfully portrays every intricate detail of the tree split by lightning. The historic town of Haarlem serves as a backdrop for this natural wonder that has stood the test of time. Preserved on paper with utmost precision and care, this engraving measures an impressive 310 mm in height and 343 mm in width. While we admire and reflect upon nature's might through this powerful image, let us not forget that commercial use is prohibited for these artistic treasures held within the Liszt Collection.
