EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a historic moment in the Battle for the Gold Staff, symbolizing the Dominion of the World. Depicting the Dutch victory over the Spanish fleet at Gibraltar on 25 April 1607, this allegorical artwork by Adam Willaerts transports us back to a time of fierce naval warfare. In the foreground, we witness an intense skirmish between a Dutchman and a Spaniard, locked in combat over a cane. Their struggle represents not only their personal conflict but also reflects larger political tensions of that era. Onlookers from different nations, including an Englishman and a Venetian, watch with bated breath as these two adversaries clash. Meanwhile, in the distance, raging waves and billowing smoke reveal the epic sea battle unfolding in all its glory. Sailing-ships engage in combat while others partake in tug-of-war maneuvers amidst the treacherous waters of Strait of Gibraltar. The Admiralty of Amsterdam oversees this monumental clash for dominance. This remarkable piece serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. It reminds us of significant events that shaped our world centuries ago while showcasing Willaerts' mastery with oil paint on panel. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported to an era where power struggles were fought fiercely at sea and every victory held immense symbolic value.
