EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Dutch Raid on the Medway, 20 June 1667. In this dramatic scene, we witness the destructive power of war as Dutch forces set fire to English ships during their journey to Chatham. The burning English ships dominate the right side of the image, engulfed in flames that illuminate the darkened sky. In the foreground and on the left, sloops filled with sailors and soldiers can be seen, ready to defend or engage in battle. Their presence adds a sense of urgency and action to this chaotic scene. Meanwhile, occupying Fort Sheerness on the far left are Dutch troops who have successfully taken control. The artist behind this masterpiece is Jan van Leyden, whose skillful use of oil paint brings depth and texture to every detail portrayed. The panel itself measures an impressive 93 cm in height by 156.5 cm in width with a depth of 4 cm. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how conflicts shape nations' destinies and alter maritime supremacy throughout time. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst destruction and chaos, art has always been there to immortalize these significant moments for future generations to reflect upon.
