EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the grim reality of life during the Spanish siege of the city of Leiden in the 80 Years War. The image, based on a 17th-century work by Willem de Haen, depicts people succumbing to illness, including the devastating plague that ravaged Europe at that time. In this historical snapshot, we witness the profound impact of war and disease on European society. The scene is filled with despair as individuals from all walks of life face their mortality. Their expressions reveal both physical agony and emotional anguish, serving as a poignant reminder of human vulnerability. The Spanish siege was part of the Dutch War of Independence, also known as the 80 Years War. This protracted conflict between Spain and the Netherlands had far-reaching consequences for both nations and shaped European history. Through this archival piece, we are transported back to a dark chapter in our past when wars were fought not only with weapons but also against invisible enemies like disease. It serves as a testament to resilience amidst unimaginable suffering. As we reflect upon this image today, it reminds us to cherish peace and unity while acknowledging our shared humanity across time and borders. Let us learn from history's lessons so that such devastation may never be repeated again.
