This satirical print, created anonymously in the Netherlands between 1756 and 1759, depicts a heated argument between Arminians and Calvinists over the brothers De Witt and the Orangists. The print, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, features a bull representing the Orangists, a man representing the De Witts, and various figures embodying different political and religious factions. This artwork reflects the turbulent political and religious climate of 18th-century Netherlands, particularly the ongoing struggle for power between the pro-republican De Witts and the pro-monarch Orangists. The satirical nature of the print provides a glimpse into the complexities and tensions of the era.
