EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The city of Makassar, held by the Portuguese and taken by the Dutch in 1660" offers a glimpse into a significant historical event. Created by an anonymous artist from the Dutch School in the 17th century, this print showcases the intense battle that unfolded between two powerful naval forces. Located in modern-day Indonesia, Makassar was once under Portuguese control until it fell into the hands of the Dutch in 1660. The image depicts a scene filled with chaos and destruction as flames engulf both ships and buildings within this bustling port city. The composition highlights the might of both armies involved, emphasizing their naval strength through intricately detailed vessels dominating the foreground. The intensity of battle is palpable as troops engage on land while fires rage around them. Beyond its artistic value, this engraving serves as a visual testament to colonial struggles for dominance during this era. It provides us with valuable insights into historical events that shaped not only Makassar but also larger geopolitical dynamics at play. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this artwork stands as a reminder of past conflicts and conquests. Its depiction captures our imagination and invites contemplation about how history has shaped our present world.
