EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Attack Fortress Orange Church God 1672 Comprehensive allegorical representation" offers a profound visual narrative of the events that unfolded in the year 1672. The print's overarching theme is Orangistic, expressing opposition towards the Arminians and the de Witt brothers' attempt to unite the Church of God and the Orange Tree with diabolical forces. The composition is divided into two distinct halves: on the right, we witness advancing armies ready for battle, while on the left, we are confronted with an intricate depiction of French court buildings juxtaposed with dancing devils in hell. This stark contrast symbolizes both earthly conflict and spiritual turmoil. Accompanying this thought-provoking image are four columns of text in Dutch and French. These texts provide detailed explanations according to letters AZ and numbers 1-24, unraveling various aspects of this complex representation. Additionally, an eight-couplet verse further enhances our understanding by delving into themes such as devilish aggression against the Church, sieges, positional warfare, notable figures like Johan de Witt and Cornelis de Witt, William III (Prince of Orange and King of England), Christoph Bernhard von Galen (Bishop of Munster), and Jacob de L'Ambre. Measuring approximately 288 mm in height by 423 mm in width on paper using drypoint technique; this remarkable artwork from Liszt Collection transports us back to a tumultuous period where political power struggles intertwined with religious divisions. Its historical significance lies not only within its artistic merit but also as a testament to human resilience during times of upheaval.
