EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Iconoclasm Church Imagination" takes us back to a tumultuous period in history. The image depicts an intense scene within the interior of a church, where acts of iconoclasm are taking place. Saints' images are being forcefully pulled from their pedestals and tombstones destroyed, creating a dramatic spectacle. The composition is carefully constructed by the talented artist Van Delen, who meticulously applies central perspective to control the performance. All lines converge towards one vanishing point, enhancing the depth and realism of the painting. Van Delen's masterful use of light adds another layer of intrigue to the artwork. Light beautifully invades the building from the north, illuminating both destruction and chaos. In this particular moment frozen in time, we catch a glimpse of a cleric discreetly observing this chaotic event from behind a pillar on the far left side. His presence suggests that even within such turmoil, there are those who remain as silent witnesses to history unfolding before them. This iconic piece transports us to 17th century Netherlands when religious conflicts were at their peak. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture significant moments in time and convey powerful messages about human nature and societal upheaval.
