EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a significant moment in history, depicting the severed head and hand of Nikanor being shown to the people in Jerusalem. The image is part of a series titled "History of the Maccabees" which delves into the heroic tale of Israel's triumph over their enemies. Nikanor, driven by his desire to exterminate Israel, assembled an army to carry out his nefarious plans. However, against all odds, the resilient Israelites emerged victorious and conquered both him and his forces. This powerful scene captures the aftermath of this monumental victory as Nikanor's head and hand are displayed for all to see. The Latin reference below the performance points towards 1 Makk. 7:27 in the Bible text, further emphasizing its religious significance. Created by Johannes Wierix in Antwerp around 1574 or 1579, this engraving is part of an album that includes various images related to Nicanors' demise. Measuring approximately 203 mm high and 284 mm wide on paper, this print serves as a testament to human resilience and determination against adversity. It offers viewers a glimpse into ancient history while reminding us of our ability to overcome even seemingly insurmountable challenges.
