De Koning doot en moort de protestante leeraars vrouwen en kinderen. The King causeth to kill the Protestants ministers with their wives and children 1688 - 1691

This etching by Romeyn de Hooghe, titled *De Koning doot en moort de protestante leeraars vrouwen en kinderen*, is a powerful commentary on the persecution of Protestants in the late 17th century. Depicting a brutal scene of execution, the print showcases the artist's skill in conveying the grim reality of the time. The graphic imagery of hanging victims and a king overseeing the violence, coupled with the inscription "The King causeth to kill the Protestants ministers with their wives and children", leaves a lasting impact on the viewer, highlighting the injustices faced by the Protestant community. This work, created between 1688 and 1691, serves as a poignant reminder of the religious conflict and its impact on the lives of ordinary people. The etching is part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
