EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the refusal of Frisian King Radboud to be baptized by Bishop Wolfran in 719. The image showcases the king's unwavering determination as he stands one-legged in the baptismal font, defying the religious authority before him. The composition is rich with symbolism and emotion, portraying the clash between pagan beliefs and Christian conversion during that era. Radboud's resolute expression reflects his commitment to his ancestral customs and resistance against outside influences. Printed on the top right corner is "Book IV. P. 370" indicating its origin within a larger historical context. The meticulous etching technique employed by Jacob Folkema further enhances the visual impact of this remarkable artwork. This rare depiction offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of Dutch history when conflicting ideologies clashed amidst political power struggles. It serves as a reminder of how religion has shaped societies throughout time and highlights individual acts of defiance against prevailing norms. As we admire this print from the Liszt Collection, let us reflect upon our own convictions and consider what it means to stand firm in our beliefs even when faced with opposition or pressure for conformity.
