EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a historical event that unfolded in Vatican City centuries ago. The image portrays two representations on a single plate, capturing the dramatic contrast between life and death. In the top right corner, we witness a tragic incident during Mass as a Swiss individual meets his untimely demise at the hands of a Spaniard. The atmosphere is filled with shock and disbelief as this violent act disrupts the solemnity of divine service, particularly within the Roman Catholic Church. Contrasting this scene, at the bottom center of the plate, another figure kneels in prayerful contemplation. This juxtaposition highlights both the fragility and resilience of human existence - one seeking solace amidst chaos while another succumbs to their fate. The brutality continues as we shift our attention to St. Peter's Square where justice is served. A Spaniard faces his punishment by being hanged publicly for his actions against an innocent life. The gravity of this violent death echoes throughout history and serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for both compassion and cruelty. Jan Luyken skillfully etched this powerful imagery onto paper in 1697 Amsterdam. Measuring 140 mm in height and 84 mm in width, this print preserves an important moment frozen in time - evoking emotions ranging from sorrow to contemplation about life's transience.
