EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, titled "Servants of the Duke of Aumale attempt to shoo away the rats in his coffin, 1591" we are transported back in time to witness a bizarre and macabre scene. The image captures a moment filled with both fear and desperation as servants of the Duke of Aumale frantically try to scare away an infestation of rats that have invaded their master's final resting place. The composition is hauntingly beautiful, with dim lighting casting eerie shadows on the ornate coffin while highlighting the terrified expressions on the servants' faces. The attention to detail by Jan Luyken and Pieter van der Aa (I) is remarkable, allowing us to almost hear their shouts and feel their panic as they wave brooms and torches in a desperate attempt to rid themselves of these unwelcome intruders. This extraordinary snapshot offers a unique glimpse into historical practices surrounding death rituals during that period. It raises questions about superstitions or beliefs associated with rodents and their connection to mortality. Moreover, it serves as a reminder that even those who held positions of power were not immune to nature's relentless forces. Quint Lox has expertly captured this intriguing moment through his careful selection from the vast Liszt Collection. This thought-provoking photograph invites viewers to reflect on our own fears, mortality, and how we confront unexpected challenges when faced with adversity.
