EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to the year 1678 in Danzig, where a dramatic scene unfolds before our eyes. In this historic moment captured by Caspar Luyken and Pieter van der Aa I, we witness a procession making its way through the streets of Danzig, only to be met with an unexpected and hostile reception. As onlookers line the streets, their faces filled with anger and frustration, they hurl stones towards the procession. The air is thick with tension as these acts of defiance clash against the backdrop of religious fervor. It is evident that deep-seated emotions are at play here - perhaps fueled by differing beliefs or simmering social unrest. The image serves as a stark reminder of how religion can sometimes ignite conflicts within communities. Street fights and riots become inevitable when opposing ideologies collide head-on. In this particular instance, it seems that faith has become entangled in a web of discord rather than fostering unity among people. Through Quint Lox's lens, we are transported into this historical moment frozen in time - allowing us to reflect upon the complexities of human nature and its relationship with religion. This thought-provoking photograph invites us to delve deeper into our own understanding of faith and consider how it can both unite and divide societies throughout history.
