EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to the bustling port of Alexandria in 1698. The title "View of the Port of Alexandria" hints at the magnificent sight that awaits us within this image. As we gaze upon it, our eyes are immediately drawn to a group of majestic hoofed animals known as dromedaries, gracefully standing amidst the vibrant surroundings. The artist behind this masterpiece is Jan Luyken, a renowned etcher from Delft. His attention to detail and skillful technique are evident in every stroke captured on this paper print. Luyken's ability to bring life and movement into his work is truly remarkable. The composition itself is awe-inspiring; with its grand scale measuring 300 mm by 644 mm, it allows us to immerse ourselves fully into the scene before us. We can almost feel the salty breeze coming off the Mediterranean Sea as ships sail in and out of this bustling harbor. As we study this artwork further, we cannot help but appreciate how it captures not only a moment in time but also an entire era filled with exploration and trade. It serves as a reminder of Alexandria's historical significance as one of Egypt's most important ports. This print from the Liszt Collection offers more than just aesthetic pleasure; it invites us on a journey through time and space, allowing us to experience firsthand what life was like in ancient Alexandria.
