EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Jan van de Velde II, titled "Horsemans at a ruined castle with bridge" we are transported back to the year 1616. The landscape is dominated by the imposing ruins of a once majestic castle, now dilapidated and weathered by time. A wooden bridge stretches across a gentle stream, providing passage for horsemen and their trusty steeds. The figures in the picture depict riders on horseback as well as those on foot, creating a sense of movement and activity within this desolate setting. The dirt road leading up to the castle adds an element of realism, reminding us that life continues even amidst decay. As our eyes wander through this scene, we notice not only horses but also an ass and mule accompanying their riders. This inclusion further emphasizes the diversity of characters present in this historical moment. Jan van de Velde II's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; each crumbling stone and decaying beam tells its own story. Quint Lox has masterfully captured this artwork through his photography skills, allowing us to appreciate it from afar. This print from Liszt Collection invites us to reflect upon the passing of time and the inevitable decay that befalls even grand structures like castles. It serves as a reminder that history lives on through art, preserving moments like these for generations to come.
