EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and significance of the fireworks display held in The Hague to honor the peace treaty with France in 1713. Set against the picturesque backdrop of a serene pond, the festivities took place in front of the esteemed meeting room of the States General. Organized by this governing body, the event marked a momentous occasion as it celebrated the successful negotiations that had concluded just days earlier in Utrecht on April 11th. The image showcases two columns of text, one written in Dutch and another in French, symbolizing unity and diplomacy between these nations. As night falls, a bonfire illuminates the scene while colorful firework displays light up the sky above. The artist behind this masterpiece is Jacob Keyser from Amsterdam, whose attention to detail is evident through his meticulous etching on paper. This historical snapshot not only commemorates an important milestone but also serves as a reminder of humanity's continuous pursuit for peace. It encapsulates both joyous celebration and hope for harmonious relations among nations. The Liszt Collection has preserved this remarkable artwork for future generations to appreciate its artistic brilliance and historical significance.
