EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The ship of Jan van Speijk, 1831" we are transported back to a significant moment in naval history. The image captures the majestic sight of the Dutch gunboat, named after its brave captain Jan van Speijk, sailing through the Scheldt River. It was February 5th, 1831 when tragedy struck as Belgian forces blindsided the ship. Overwhelmed by their unexpected attack, Jan van Speijk valiantly stood on deck while his counterpart Gijsbertus Craeyvanger and crew members from Desguerrois & Co. Frederik (prins der Nederlanden) rowed towards him for support. The tension and drama of this historic event is palpable in Quint Lox's expertly captured photograph. The viewer can almost feel the chaos and confusion that ensued as Van Speijk's ship was overrompelen by the Belgians. Through this powerful visual narrative, Lox brings to life an important chapter in maritime history - one that showcases both bravery and sacrifice. This print serves as a reminder of the courage displayed by Captain Jan van Speijk and his crew amidst overwhelming odds. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how historical photographs have an incredible ability to transport us back in time and connect us with moments that shaped our world.
