EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Capture Den Briel 1572" we are transported back to the historic events that unfolded on April 1,1572. The image showcases the dramatic moment when Lumey, accompanied by his loyal staff, leads his men forward to capture the city of Brielle after a long siege. The composition of the photograph is striking, with Lumey positioned in the foreground as a symbol of leadership and determination. His commanding presence exudes strength and courage, setting the tone for what is about to unfold. Behind him stands his faithful staff, ready to follow their leader into battle. The details captured in this etching are remarkable; every line and stroke brings life to this historical event. The artist's skillful hand has beautifully depicted not only Lumey but also the surrounding landscape and architecture of Brielle. As we gaze upon this print from Amsterdam dating back to 1679-1684, we can't help but feel a sense of awe at witnessing such an important moment in history. It serves as a reminder of the bravery displayed by those who fought for freedom during tumultuous times. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to connect with our past and appreciate the sacrifices made by individuals like Willem van der Mark, lord of Lumey. Let it serve as an inspiration for future generations to value liberty and stand up against oppression wherever it may be found.
