Uittocht van de remonstrantse predikanten, 1619 1782 - 1784

This etching by Simon Fokke, created between 1782 and 1784, depicts the expulsion of Remonstrant ministers from Leiden in 1619. The scene, viewed from a distance, shows a group of figures being led away in horse-drawn carriages, while others stand by watching. This historical event, known as the "Uittocht van de remonstrantse predikanten," is a significant moment in Dutch history, reflecting religious tensions and conflict. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into this pivotal event through Fokke's detailed and evocative depiction.
