EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a moment of both triumph and tragedy in the life of a merchant. After surviving the perils of the sea, he finally reaches the shore where his precious goods are waiting for him. The look on his face as he contemplates his wealth is one of satisfaction and relief. However, just as he begins to revel in his success, death unexpectedly appears before him. The shock and disbelief on his face are palpable, as if he never thought that such a fate could befall him after all he had been through. One of his companions raises their hands in despair, perhaps realizing that their own lives may also be at risk. This scene is beautifully captured in a hand-colored engraving by Christian Von Mechel, based on original drawings by Hans Holbein the Young. The intricate details and emotions portrayed in this artwork make it truly captivating to behold. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the fleeting nature of life and how quickly fortunes can change. It serves as a poignant reminder to cherish every moment we have and not take anything for granted.
