EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hauntingly captivating print titled "The Plague in Naples, 1656 Italy" we are transported back to a time of immense suffering and despair. The work, created by renowned print makers Caspar Luyken and Pieter van der Aa I in 1698, vividly depicts the devastating impact of the plague on the city of Naples. As our eyes wander across the image, we are confronted with scenes that evoke both horror and empathy. The streets are filled with desperate individuals, their faces etched with anguish as they grapple with the merciless pestilence that has befallen them. Bodies lie strewn about, abandoned by loved ones who were powerless against this invisible enemy. Luyken's masterful use of light and shadow adds an eerie atmosphere to the composition. The darkened corners seem to symbolize not only physical darkness but also the emotional turmoil that engulfs those affected by this calamity. Through this powerful visual narrative, Luyken and Van der Aa I remind us of humanity's vulnerability in the face of nature's wrath. They compel us to reflect on past tragedies while acknowledging our collective responsibility to prevent similar catastrophes from recurring. "The Plague in Naples" serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst unimaginable suffering, resilience can emerge. It is a testament to human strength and solidarity during times when hope seems elusive. This print from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection invites us into history's darkest chapters while urging us
