EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print titled "HOMELESS, 17th CENTURY" captures the devastating aftermath of the Thirty Years War in Germany. The image depicts a group of civilians, forced to flee their homes due to the destruction caused by the war. Created as a line engraving in the 19th century, it is based on a painting by Philips Wouwerman from the 17th century. In this scene, we see families and individuals desperately trying to escape on horseback and in covered wagons. The equestrian figures symbolize both hope and urgency as they navigate through rugged terrain and billowing smoke from burning villages. A farmer with his scythe and a dog accompany them, emphasizing that people from all walks of life were affected by this tragic event. The composition highlights not only the physical displacement but also the emotional turmoil experienced by these refugees. Women clutch their children tightly while men look ahead with determination mixed with fear for what lies ahead. It serves as a poignant reminder of how war can uproot entire communities, leaving innocent civilians homeless and vulnerable. Through this historical artwork, we are transported back to an era marked by immense suffering and loss. It prompts us to reflect on our own responsibility towards those who are displaced today due to conflict or other calamities. This print stands as a testament to resilience amidst adversity while urging us never to forget the human cost of war.
