EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print dating back to 1691, we witness a remarkable scene of resilience and determination. Two women, their faces etched with concern yet unwavering in their purpose, stand amidst the chaos of a raging fire. The flames dance menacingly behind them, threatening to devour everything in its path. Yet, amidst the destruction and turmoil, these courageous women have managed to salvage something precious - a book. With careful hands and hearts filled with hope, they retrieve it from the clutches of the inferno unscathed. It is an awe-inspiring testament to human tenacity and our innate desire to preserve knowledge even in the face of adversity. The artist behind this extraordinary print is Jan Luyken, renowned for his ability to capture profound moments that stir emotions within viewers' souls. His attention to detail brings every element alive - from the flickering flames illuminating their determined expressions to the intricate patterns adorning their clothing. As we gaze upon this image captured by Paulus Strobach's lens centuries ago, we are reminded of both our fragility as humans and our indomitable spirit when faced with challenges. This timeless piece serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of great upheaval or personal struggle, there is always hope for renewal and rebirth. Quint Lox's preservation of this historical gem through Liszt Collection allows us all an opportunity to reflect on humanity's capacity for resilience while honoring those who came before us – those who fought against all odds
