EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to the year 1775, capturing a thrilling moment in Dutch history - the Hollandsche Harddraaverij, also known as Dutch hard trotting. The image showcases an exhilarating horse race for the prestigious Golden Whip at the Schouw van Duivenvoorde, commonly referred to as Haagsche Schouw. The scene unfolds on a vast plain just outside The Hague, where horses gallop with incredible speed and grace. A large audience has gathered to witness this spectacle of strength and agility. Some sit on the ground while others enjoy the view from their cars or carriages. Their anticipation is palpable as they eagerly follow every twist and turn of this intense competition. Simon Fokke, a renowned artist from Northern Netherlands, masterfully captures this electrifying moment through his skillful etching technique. His attention to detail brings each horse and rider to life, showcasing their determination and competitive spirit. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back centuries ago when horse racing was not only a sport but also a significant social event that brought people together. This print serves as a reminder of our shared human fascination with speed, competition, and witnessing extraordinary feats of athleticism.
