Titled "Shipwrecked at the Cape of Good Hope, 1693 The loss of three Ships at Cabo de Bonne Esperance" this image showcases sailors desperately attempting to salvage their sunken vessels by pulling them ashore on a makeshift raft. The print, created by Jan Luyken and published in Amsterdam in 1693, measures approximately 160mm in height and 134mm in width. It is an etching on paper, showcasing Luyken's exceptional artistic skill and attention to detail. The chaotic nature of the shipwreck is evident as sailors strain against the powerful waves, battling against all odds to rescue their precious cargo. The viewer can almost feel the tension and desperation emanating from this haunting depiction. Fascinatingly, this particular print is labeled with "Fol:122" on the top right corner, adding an air of authenticity and historical significance to its provenance.

This remarkable piece from Liszt Collection transports us back in time to witness one of history's most treacherous moments at sea.
