This 17th-century etching by Philip Fruytiers, titled "Triptiek met satirische scènes op de Protestanten", satirizes Protestant beliefs and practices. It depicts a scene of a man being burned at the stake, a reference to the persecution of Protestants by the Catholic Church. The artwork is divided into three sections, each depicting a different scene of religious persecution. The use of graphic detail and stark imagery heightens the sense of drama and reinforces the artist's critical perspective on religious intolerance. The work is considered a valuable piece of Dutch 17th-century art and serves as a reminder of the historical context of religious tensions.
