EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a momentous event in history - the surprise encounter of three Portuguese galleons in the Bay of Goa on September 30,1639. The image depicts a chaotic scene as these majestic ships engage in battle, their sails billowing against the backdrop of a picturesque Goan coastline. The title on the object reveals another dramatic incident that occurred during this tumultuous period - the burning of 22 ships in the Port of Golette. This adds an additional layer of intrigue and danger to an already intense composition. Printed in Amsterdam in 1684, this etching by Jan Luyken showcases his exceptional talent for capturing maritime scenes with meticulous detail. The paper used is delicate yet sturdy, allowing us to appreciate every line and stroke that brings this historical moment to life. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded not only of the bravery and skill displayed by those aboard these Portuguese galleons but also of the ever-present risks faced by seafarers during times of conflict. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our enduring fascination with naval warfare throughout history
