EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of Holy Ursula being besieged by the Huns. In the foreground, we see Ursula adorned with a crown and holding a pilgrim staff with a Christian banner, standing amidst soldiers who mercilessly slaughter her virgins. The intensity of the moment is heightened as soldiers aim their bows and arrows at a tower, possibly from the city of Cologne. Amidst clouds in the sky, we catch glimpses of God or Christ accompanied by playful putti. St. Ursula and her companions face their tragic fate outside the walls of Cologne, where she meets her demise through an arrow piercing her body while maidens are struck down by arrows, spears, or swords. The artist behind this powerful etching is Willem van Haecht (II), whose name is mentioned on the object itself. Created between 1603 and 1637 in Antwerp, this piece showcases Van Haecht's exceptional skill in capturing both emotion and action. As you gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, prepare to be transported back in time to witness this harrowing event unfold before your eyes. The intricate details and vivid imagery serve as a reminder of St. Ursula's martyrdom and inspire contemplation on themes such as faith, sacrifice, and resilience against adversity.
