EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating aftermath of the Basel earthquake that struck on 18 October 1356. The image, part of a private collection, showcases the fine artistry and attention to detail in this historical painting by Karl Jauslin (1842-1904). The scene depicted is one of chaos and destruction, as buildings crumble under the immense power unleashed by nature. The artist's use of color lithography brings an eerie realism to this tragic event from Switzerland's history. The earthquake itself was a catastrophic event that forever altered the cityscape of Basel. It remains one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded in Central Europe, with estimates suggesting it reached a magnitude between 6.0 and 7.1 on today's Richter scale. Through this graphic artwork, viewers are transported back in time to witness firsthand the devastation caused by natural disasters centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of humanity's vulnerability in the face of Mother Nature's fury. While we admire this piece for its artistic merit and historical significance, it is important to note that commercial use is not permitted for this particular photograph print from Heritage Images. Nonetheless, it continues to serve as a poignant reminder of our shared past and resilience in times of adversity.
