EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection depicts a haunting scene of historical significance. The image portrays the tragic fate of Mattheus Mair, who met his untimely demise in Wier during the persecution of heretics in 1592. The violent nature of his death is evident as he is shown drowning in water, symbolizing both the cruelty and finality of his fate. Created by Jan Luyken and printed on paper using etching techniques, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the religious conflicts that plagued Amsterdam during this period. The mention of Luyken's name on the object further emphasizes his role as an artist capturing significant moments in history. Dating back to 1685, this print offers viewers a glimpse into a dark chapter filled with intolerance and violence. Its small dimensions (h 118 mm x w 143 mm) invite closer inspection, allowing one to appreciate the intricate details and emotions conveyed within such limited space. As part of the Liszt Collection, this photograph serves as a testament to human resilience and acts as a cautionary tale against religious persecution. It reminds us to reflect upon our past mistakes while striving for tolerance and understanding in our present-day society.
