Acht historische scènes met lotgevallen van Protestanten in Engeland en Schotland 1751

This 1751 etching by Jacob Folkema, entitled "Acht historische scènes met lotgevallen van Protestanten in Engeland en Schotland," depicts eight historical scenes of Protestant persecution in England and Scotland. The print is divided into four rows of two scenes each, with a title cartouche in the center. The scenes are detailed and dramatic, showing the persecution of Protestants by Catholics, a popular theme in Dutch art. The print is a testament to the religious conflicts of the 17th and 18th centuries and the importance of religious freedom.
