1722 1784 Embrace Foreground Guard Guards Hall Handcuffed Prisoner Simon Fokke Stopped Supervision Mentioned Overseer Shooters
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures a powerful scene of four prisoners under the watchful eyes of their shooters. In a dimly lit hall, these handcuffed individuals are closely supervised by guards who maintain strict control over them. The intensity in the room is palpable as one male prisoner attempts to embrace a woman, only to be halted by an alert guard. In the foreground, another prisoner kneels before an overseer, perhaps seeking mercy or pleading for leniency. Their hands bound and their fate uncertain, these captives embody both vulnerability and resilience. Created by Simon Fokke between 1722 and 1784 in Amsterdam, this etching on paper stands as a testament to his artistic prowess. Fokke's attention to detail brings every element of this composition to life - from the expressions on each person's face to the texture of their handcuffs. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of the complexities within our justice system and the human stories that lie behind prison walls. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in confinement, emotions such as love and longing can still find a way to surface
