De Vlugt van 't Pausdom 1660 - 1708

"De Vlugt van 't Pausdom uit Engeland" (The Flight of Papacy from England), created by Romeyn de Hooghe between 1660 and 1708, is a satirical etching depicting the expulsion of Catholicism from England. The scene portrays a chaotic departure with figures representing the Catholic Church, including the Pope, being driven out by a group of armed men. The etching, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York, offers a glimpse into the religious and political tensions of 17th-century England.
