EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a tumultuous moment in history. The image depicts Mayor Filips van den Brande, a prominent figure of authority, being assaulted by rebellious farmers inside the town hall in 1672. The intensity and chaos of this scene are palpable as we witness the clash between power and resistance. Printed on the top right corner is the reference "Fol: 83" indicating its place within a larger collection or archive. In addition, an intriguing two-line verse adorns the margin, further adding to the enigmatic nature of this historical artifact. The setting for this dramatic event is Middelburg, where street fights and riots were not uncommon during that era. Philip van den Brande's name resonates through time as he becomes entangled in this violent encounter with disgruntled farmers fighting for their rights. Caspar Luyken's name is mentioned on the object itself, suggesting his involvement in capturing and immortalizing this pivotal moment through etching techniques on paper. This particular print was created in Amsterdam in 1692, serving as a testament to how quickly news spread across cities even centuries ago. As we delve into this evocative piece from our past, let us reflect upon its significance and remember that history often unfolds through moments of conflict and struggle between those who govern and those who seek justice.
