EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hauntingly beautiful print, we are transported to a solemn scene of great significance. The image captures the death bed of a king, as he lies dying in a majestic four-poster bed. Clutched in his hands is a crucifix, symbolizing the presence of Christ during his final moments. Surrounding the bed, clergymen and other individuals involved in this somber event gather to pay their respects. Their expressions reveal both sorrow and reverence for the departing monarch. A cross stands tall as an emblem of faith and salvation, while a human skull serves as a stark reminder of mortality. The artist behind this poignant portrayal is Christiaan Lodewijk van Kesteren, who skillfully depicts every detail with precision through steel engraving on paper. His work transports us back to 19th-century Europe when kings held immense power and their deaths were significant events that shaped history. This print from the Liszt Collection allows us to witness not only the physicality of death but also its spiritual implications. It reminds us that even kings must face their mortality and find solace in religion during their final hours
