EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of a devastating fire that engulfed Charles Rochussen's childhood home at Leuvehaven on May 14,1849. The cityscape painting showcases the remnants of the once beautiful house, with its charred walls and crumbling structure. The picture is framed in an exquisite gilded profiled frame, adding a touch of elegance to this poignant scene. On the reverse side of the frame, three forged nails are fixed from the rubble as a reminder of the destruction caused by the fire. It is believed that Hendrik Rochussen, possibly Charles' father, supervised soldiers who accompanied him during this tragic event. The panel at the bottom left indicates that this incident took place in Rotterdam, marking it as an important moment in local history. The Leuvehaven area was known for its bustling sugar industry and housed P. H. Tromp's Steam Sugar Refinery which also fell victim to this destructive blaze. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can't help but feel a sense of loss and resilience intertwined within each brushstroke. This painting not only depicts a personal tragedy for Charles Rochussen but also serves as a testament to Rotterdam's ability to rise from ashes and rebuild itself after such calamities. In preserving this visual material from Liszt Collection, we honor both Charles Rochussen's childhood memories and pay tribute to Rotterdam's indomitable spirit in face of adversity.
