EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from the year 1691, depicting Mars, the Roman god of war, brandishing his sword in front of a city engulfed in flames. This powerful image serves as the title page for "European Mercury" specifically the second piece and first part covering the months of January, February, and March. The intensity and drama conveyed by this artwork is truly awe-inspiring. Above this striking representation lies another depiction: triumphal gates on the Grote Markt and Plaats, meticulously prepared to welcome King William III to The Hague. Below these grand arches at Buitenhof in The Hague unfolds an intriguing story involving Mars himself. Created by Jan Luyken in Amsterdam using paper and etching techniques, this print measures approximately 172 mm in height and 136 mm in width. It offers a glimpse into both historical events and mythological symbolism that were significant during that era. The Liszt Collection has acquired this extraordinary piece which captures not only artistic mastery but also historical significance.
