Zoo zag men hen, die voor de waarheid streeden, / Weleer geplaagd, gepynigd en ter dood / Gebragt, die zy vol moed gewillig leeden, / Hier door verlost uit al hun druk en nood 1761 - 1804

This 18th-century print by Erven de Weduwe Jacobus van Egmont, titled “Zoo zag men hen, die voor de Waarheid streeden”, depicts a series of scenes showcasing individuals who were burned at the stake for their religious beliefs. Each panel depicts a different event and martyr, with accompanying Dutch text detailing the circumstances of their death. This print, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, serves as a poignant reminder of religious persecution during the Reformation, highlighting the courage of those who stood by their convictions in the face of oppression.
