"Vervolging van de Waldenzen in de Piemonte, 1655-1663" is an anonymous 17th-century Dutch broadside depicting the persecution of the Waldensians in the Piedmont region of Italy. The engraving is divided into nine scenes, each illustrating a different aspect of the brutal violence inflicted upon the Waldensians. A central image of an angel holding a book suggests the persecution is a violation of God's law. The piece, created in the style of a Baroque print, serves as a historical record of the horrific events and serves as a reminder of the persecution of religious minorities throughout history.
