EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Johan t Serclaes, Count of Tilly, has conquered Minden and lets his victims be thrown in the river Wertha" we are transported back to the year 1626. The image depicts a chilling scene of conquest and brutality during the Thirty Years' War. The central figure is Johan t Serclaes, Count of Tilly, a renowned military commander known for his ruthless tactics. Standing tall on the riverbank, he exudes power and dominance as he watches his defeated enemies meet their tragic fate. With an air of indifference, Tilly orders his victims to be thrown into the unforgiving waters of the river Wertha. The artist behind this thought-provoking piece is Jan Luyken, whose attention to detail brings every element to life. The composition captures both the fear-stricken faces of those about to meet their demise and the cold determination etched onto Tilly's features. Pieter van der Aa skillfully reproduced Luyken's original work in 1698, preserving its historical significance for generations to come. Quint Lox expertly curated this particular print from Liszt Collection, ensuring that viewers can appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ability to transport us back in time. This print serves as a haunting reminder of humanity's capacity for cruelty and violence even amidst great achievements or victories. It invites contemplation on our shared history while urging us never to forget nor repeat such dark chapters in our collective
