EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense Siege of Haarlem that took place in the years 1572-1573, during a tumultuous period in Dutch history. The left page showcases a scene filled with war and conflict as Spanish forces led by Fadrique Alvarez de Toledo and his son Don Frederick, Duke of Alva, lay siege to the city. The print offers a great view of the north side of Haarlem, providing us with a glimpse into the chaos and destruction caused by this historic event. It is evident that Hendrik Spilman, an anonymous contemporary drawing artist, skillfully captured every detail in this depiction. Bernardus Kleynhens' meticulous work from 1731-1760 brings this historical moment to life once again through Quint Lox's lens. The image transports viewers back to those fateful years when Haarlem faced immense hardship and resistance against Spanish occupation. As we admire this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, let us reflect on the bravery and resilience displayed by both sides during this grueling battle. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared past and how it has shaped our present-day Netherlands.
