Johan en Cornelis de Witt uit de Gevangenpoort gehaald en gedood, 1672 1782 - 1784

"Johan en Cornelis de Witt uit de Gevangenpoort gehaald en gedood, 1672" is a 1782-1784 etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke (1712-1784). It depicts the violent death of Johan and Cornelis de Witt, prominent Dutch figures, at the hands of an angry mob in 1672. The scene is chaotic, with figures rushing forward, their faces contorted in rage and fear, while smoke billows in the background, suggesting a fire. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a visual record of this turbulent period in Dutch history.
