EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating impact of the Thirty Years War on civilians, as they are forced to flee their homes and livelihoods in the face of destruction. The line engraving, created by a German artist in the 19th century after a painting by Philips Wouwerman, depicts a scene filled with chaos and despair. In this image, we see a group of homeless individuals desperately trying to escape on horseback. A family rides together on one horse, while others struggle alongside them. The equestrian figures symbolize both hope and desperation as they navigate through hills and fields ravaged by war. The destruction caused by this brutal conflict is evident in the burning buildings and billowing smoke that fill the background. Peasants armed with scythes join forces with travelers seeking refuge from afar. Even dogs accompany these displaced men and women, highlighting their shared plight. The details captured in this engraving convey not only physical displacement but also emotional turmoil. The expressions on people's faces reflect fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty about what lies ahead for them. This historical artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war – how it uproots lives, shatters communities, and leaves countless innocent civilians without shelter or security. It stands as an enduring testament to resilience amidst unimaginable hardship during one of Europe's most devastating conflicts.
