EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Waldensians chased from Savoy crossing the Lake Geneva in boats back to their country" we are transported back to the year 1689 in Switzerland. The image captures a pivotal moment in history when the Waldensians, a religious group persecuted for their beliefs, were forced to flee from Savoy. The scene unfolds on the serene waters of Lake Geneva, as a fleet of small wooden boats gracefully navigate its shimmering surface. These humble vessels serve as lifelines for the Waldensians, carrying them across the vast expanse towards their homeland. Their faces reveal both determination and fear, reflecting the arduous journey they must undertake. Caspar Luyken's masterful composition allows us to witness not only their physical escape but also sense their emotional turmoil. The surrounding landscape showcases Switzerland's breathtaking beauty - towering mountains and lush greenery stand witness to this poignant moment in history. This powerful image is brought to life through Pieter van der Aa's skilled printing technique, capturing every detail with remarkable clarity and depth. Quint Lox has expertly curated this piece from Liszt Collection, preserving an important chapter of human resilience and perseverance against oppression. As we gaze upon this extraordinary photograph print, let us remember those who fought for freedom of belief and honor their unwavering spirit that continues to inspire generations today.
