EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a moment of historical significance. The image depicts the dramatic scene of King Ormus being raided and killed in a tent camp, marked at the top right as "I part fol. 474". The ruler's fate is evident through his violent death, as he is mishandled and maltreated by unknown assailants. The intensity of this event is palpable, with the king seemingly seeking death amidst chaos and destruction. The setting itself adds to the intrigue - a military camp adorned with numerous tents that stretch across the landscape. This amplifies the sense of vulnerability for King Ormus, who met his untimely demise within these temporary structures. Jan Luyken's name appears on this object, indicating his involvement in capturing this pivotal moment through paper etching in Amsterdam back in 1682. His artistic skills have immortalized this historic event for generations to come. As you gaze upon this photo print, let your imagination transport you back to that fateful day when power shifted hands and tragedy struck. It serves as a reminder of how even rulers can face unexpected perils and meet their ultimate fate at any given moment.
