EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting engraving captures the chilling moment of the assassination of Huguenot Gaspard de Coligny, a significant figure in French history. The scene depicts soldiers bursting into a room, their faces filled with determination and violence. One soldier, his face turned away from us, ruthlessly plunges his sword into the body of Admiral de Coligny. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched on paper conveys the intensity and brutality of this historical event. In the margin, a two-line poem in Dutch further emphasizes the violent nature of de Coligny's death by sword. Created in Utrecht in 1790, this engraving serves as a powerful reminder of religious conflict during that era. De Coligny was an important leader within the Protestant Huguenot community and played a pivotal role in shaping France's religious landscape. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back to that fateful day when political tensions erupted into bloodshed. It is through art like this that we can reflect on our past and strive for a more peaceful future.
