Tekstblad bij de prent van de vervolging der protestanten in Frankrijk na de herroeping van het Edict van Nantes, 1685-1686 1686 - 1699

This is a text panel, created by Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe in 1686, that accompanies a print depicting the persecution of Protestants in France following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. De Hooghe, known for his political engravings, used the piece to criticize the persecution, which began in 1685, and express support for the Protestant cause. The text, written in Dutch, likely explains the scene of the print and the artist's intention. This text panel, now in the Rijksmuseum, provides valuable insight into the religious tensions of 17th-century Europe.
