EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Cornelis Saftleven's masterpiece, "Ruin Dominican Predikheren Monastery". The painting depicts the tragic aftermath of a devastating fire that consumed the majestic monastery in 1563. Set against the backdrop of Rotterdam's Hoogstraat, this cityscape captures both the architectural grandeur and somber ruins left behind. Saftleven's skilled use of oil paint on wood panel brings to life every intricate detail of this historical event. The rectangular landscape format is enhanced by a gilded profiled wooden frame, adding an air of elegance to the composition. In the upper left corner, we see a meticulously rendered cityscape with topographical accuracy, showcasing Rotterdam's bustling high street order. The artist masterfully conveys the chaos and destruction caused by the fire through his precise brushwork. The burnt remnants of what was once a thriving Dominican or Predikheren Monastery are hauntingly portrayed amidst smoky skies and charred debris. This painting serves as a poignant reminder of how quickly tragedy can strike even in prosperous cities like Antwerp and Rotterdam. Cornelis Saftleven skillfully captures not only physical ruin but also emotional turmoil through his choice of subject matter. By including figures such as Sachtleven Nicols Zas and Petrus de Martelaar amidst the devastation, he invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as loss, resilience, and rebirth. This remarkable piece from Liszt Collection transports us back in time to witness one
