EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to Rotterdam during the 18th century. The focal point of the image is a magnificent hay ship, fully loaded and gracefully sailing towards the right. Its sails billow in the wind, showcasing its impressive size and grandeur. To the left of this majestic vessel, we see a smaller boat with five figures aboard. Two individuals are diligently rowing, their synchronized movements propelling them forward against the gentle current. Their presence adds a sense of human activity amidst this maritime scene. In the background, a two-master ship can be spotted, further emphasizing Rotterdam's bustling port life during that era. On land, nestled on the left side of the image, lies a quaint village adorned with a charming church tower and an imposing mill. These structures symbolize both religious devotion and agricultural prosperity - key elements of daily life at that time. The focus on agricultural products is evident through bales of hay prominently displayed on board both ships as well as within close proximity to the village itself. This highlights Rotterdam's role as an important trading hub for such goods. Created between 1761-1779 using paper etching techniques by Hendrik Kobell - an artist mentioned on this object - this print serves as not only a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into historical maritime trade and everyday life in Rotterdam centuries ago.
