EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful etching, titled "The Fettmilch Rising. The plundering of the Judengasse in Frankfurt on August 22,1614" captures a dark chapter in history that is both haunting and significant. Created by Georg Keller around 1616-1617, this artwork depicts the infamous Fettmilch riot or uprising that occurred in Frankfurt, Germany. The image portrays the chaos and violence unleashed upon the Jewish community living within the Judengasse (Jewish Lane). As anti-Semitic sentiments ran high during this period, a man named Vincent Fettmilch emerged as a leader of an extremist faction seeking to persecute and oppress Jews. On August 22nd, 1614, their hatred erupted into a full-scale pogrom against innocent Jewish people. In this scene of turmoil and despair, we witness homes being ransacked and set ablaze while terrified individuals attempt to flee for their lives. The artist's attention to detail brings forth emotions of fear and helplessness among those caught up in this religious persecution. "The Fettmilch Rising" serves as a stark reminder of the horrors faced by Jewish communities throughout history due to prejudice and discrimination. It stands as an important testament to our collective responsibility to confront such acts of hate wherever they may occur. This particular print is part of a private collection dedicated to preserving fine art images that shed light on historical events like these. By examining pieces like this one with empathy and understanding, we can strive towards building a more
