EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a dark chapter in history, depicting the harrowing fate of Regner, King of the Danes. Imprisoned and thrown into a pit infested with venomous vipers, his desperate struggle for survival is frozen in time through this remarkable etching. The artist behind this haunting image is Jan Luyken, an Amsterdam-based master of his craft. With meticulous detail and skillful execution, Luyken brings forth the terror and despair that consumed Regner as he faced these deadly creatures. The snakes slither menacingly around him, their forked tongues flickering with malice while he fights valiantly against all odds. Measuring 132mm in height and 76mm in width on delicate paper, this print serves as a testament to both artistic prowess and historical significance. It transports us to the year 1687 when it was created - a period marked by political intrigue and power struggles. While we cannot ascertain the exact purpose or context of this artwork beyond its visual impact alone (as commercial use is not mentioned), it undoubtedly evokes strong emotions within us. It reminds us of humanity's capacity for cruelty but also resilience in times of adversity. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece from centuries past, let us reflect on our own ability to overcome challenges and find strength even amidst seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
