EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Jerusalem led Antiochus IV Epiphanes captured Jerusalem" takes us back to a tumultuous era in history. Depicting the siege and violent capture of Jerusalem by Antiochus IV Epiphanes, this image brings to life the tragic events that unfolded during this time. In this powerful etching by Jan Luyken from Amsterdam in 1690, we witness the breaking into the city or fortress as Antiochus Epiphanes raids and deprives the Temple. The burning of Law books symbolizes an attack on knowledge and culture, while his entry into afgoderie signifies religious desecration. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he portrays the mistreatment and killing of many Jews at the hands of their captors. The numbered upper left corner serves as a reminder of the countless lives lost during this brutal conquest. As we gaze upon this haunting image, it becomes clear that seeking death seemed preferable for those who faced such maltreatment and mishandling. The suffering endured by both individuals and their beloved city is palpable through Luyken's skillful use of paper etching. This print from Liszt Collection transports us back in time, allowing us to bear witness to one chapter in Jerusalem's rich history. It serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's capacity for violence but also highlights our resilience in times of adversity.
