EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Siege and Conquest of Naarden by the Prince of Orange on September 12,1673. The image beautifully captures various aspects of this monumental event. In the foreground, we witness the arduous task of transporting guns, highlighting the immense preparation required for such a siege. This serves as a testament to the strategic planning and military prowess employed by Prince Orange and his forces. Moving towards the center, our attention is drawn to an emotional scene where the mayor of Naarden humbly kneels before Prince Orange. Surrounding them are officers from his staff, symbolizing their unwavering loyalty and support during this critical time. As we gaze into the distance, we are confronted with a chaotic yet awe-inspiring sight -the actual siege and storming of Naarden. The intensity depicted in this part of the image showcases not only fierce battles but also highlights how position war played a crucial role in capturing cities during that era. This remarkable etching was created by Jan Luyken in Amsterdam around 1680. It offers us an invaluable glimpse into one of Willem III's most triumphant moments as both prince of Orange and king of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The historical significance captured within this print makes it an exceptional piece for any collector or enthusiast interested in reliving key moments from our past.
