EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the chaotic scene of the sacking of A. M. van Arssen's house in Amsterdam in 1748. The image showcases the intense plundering that took place during the Pachtersoproer, a riot fueled by discontented taxpayers. On Tuesday, June 25th, figures can be seen throwing various household goods onto the street and into the nearby canal. The title on the object provides us with specific details about this historic event, emphasizing not only the looting but also its location on Singel at Huiszittensteeg. The etching itself was created by Simon Fokke in 1777 and measures approximately 177 mm in height and 202 mm in width. Looking closely at this print, one can almost feel the frenzy and desperation that must have consumed both those participating in looting as well as those witnessing it unfold. It serves as a stark reminder of societal unrest and upheaval during this period. The Liszt Collection has preserved this remarkable piece of history for future generations to study and reflect upon. Its significance lies not only in documenting an act of rebellion but also shedding light on social dynamics within Amsterdam society during that time
