EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the right part profile of Amsterdam, as seen from the IJ. The image captures the essence of this vibrant city, with its towering buildings and bustling harbor. The silhouette of the city against a backdrop of clear blue skies creates a stunning panorama that is sure to captivate any viewer. Intriguingly, amidst the architectural marvels and maritime activity, an armorial bearing stands proudly in the foreground. This heraldic symbol represents a distinguished family whose name remains unknown to us. It adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this already enchanting scene. The presence of sailing ships and boats further emphasizes Amsterdam's rich history as a hub for merchant shipping and trade. These vessels serve as reminders of the city's prosperous past when it played a crucial role in global commerce. Symbolically intertwined with these maritime elements are musical instruments such as horns, trumpets, cornets, trombones, and tubas. They represent not only Amsterdam's cultural heritage but also allude to an allegory of Time and Eternity - reminding us that while cities may change over time, their spirit endures forever. This remarkable engraving by Claes Janszoon Visscher (II) dates back to 1611 and is printed on high-quality paper measuring 260 mm in height by 608 mm in width. Its inclusion in the Liszt Collection ensures its preservation for generations to come so that everyone can appreciate this magnificent portrayal of Amsterdam's grandeur.
