EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a tumultuous moment in history. Titled "Shipwreck English warships Moroccan three-mast" it depicts a harrowing scene off the North African coast in 1775. The artist, Hendrik Kobell, skillfully captures the chaos and despair of this maritime disaster. In the foreground, we see a group of five men clinging to a rock near the treacherous coastline. Their expressions reveal their desperation as they witness the unfolding catastrophe. Behind them, ominous lightning bolts illuminate a walled city on the shore, emphasizing both its vulnerability and its inability to provide refuge during this violent storm. The main focus of this artwork is undoubtedly on two shipwrecked vessels - English warships and a Moroccan three-mast - battling against powerful waves and winds. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings these ships to life; we can almost hear their creaking timbers and feel their imminent demise. Kobell's masterful use of oil paint adds depth and texture to every brushstroke, enhancing our emotional connection with this tragic event. This print serves as an important historical document reminding us of the perils faced by sailors in centuries past
