EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "King Louis XIII caught up in floods and windstorms near Narbonne, France 1632" we are transported back to a tumultuous moment in history. The image, captured by Caspar Luyken and Pieter van der Aa I in 1698, depicts a thunderstorm raging over the city of Narbonne. At the center of the chaos stands King Louis XIII himself, seated inside a wheeled animal-drawn vehicle. The regal cab or carriage is part of his majestic procession through the streets of Narbonne when it suddenly gets attacked by fierce floods and windstorms. The sheer power of nature is evident as waves crash against the wheels and rain pours down relentlessly. This historic scene perfectly encapsulates both the vulnerability of even those in positions of power and the unpredictability of Mother Nature herself. It serves as a reminder that no one is exempt from natural disasters' wrath. The intricate details captured by Luyken and van der Aa transport us back to this significant event centuries ago. Quint Lox's careful preservation ensures that we can appreciate not only their artistic skill but also gain insight into historical events that shaped our world today
