"Vlucht van koning Jacobus II, 1688-1689" is an anonymous etching depicting the escape of King James II of England from London in 1689. The print, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, shows two scenes, the first depicting the king leaving the Palace of Whitehall by boat, and the second showing him boarding a larger ship. The etching’s details, including the stormy seas and the king’s hurried departure, capture the urgency of the event and the political turmoil of the time.
