EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the striking view of the Waag in Haarlem, a historical weigh house located in The Netherlands. Created by Romeyn de Hooghe between 1688 and 1689, this artwork takes us back to a time when traders would gather at the Waag to weigh their wares before embarking on their journeys. The scene is set along the serene Spaarne River, where a boat carrying ton loads of goods can be seen docked nearby. In the foreground, we see a meticulously detailed paper map of the world spread out on a table, symbolizing the significance of geography and cartography during that era. The architectural beauty of Haarlem's buildings is showcased in this print, with its seven coats of arms adorning each side. The profile of this city is truly remarkable and speaks volumes about its rich history. Moments frozen in time like these remind us how art has always been intertwined with our daily lives. Quint Lox skillfully captures every intricate detail in this photograph, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the physical aspects but also delve into deeper historical narratives. As we gaze upon this image from Liszt Collection, we are transported back centuries ago when trade was flourishing and cities were bustling hubs for commerce. It serves as a reminder that even though times have changed dramatically since then, some things remain constant - like our fascination with capturing moments through art.
