"Het wegslepen en weer ophangen van de lichaamsdelen van Slatius, Coorenwinder en Gerrits" (1623) by Claes Jansz. Visscher is an etching that depicts the gruesome execution of three men. The artwork is divided into four sections, each showing a different stage of the execution. The first section shows the men being dragged away, the second shows them being hanged, the third shows them being dismembered, and the fourth shows their bodies being displayed. This graphic depiction of public execution was a popular theme in Dutch art of the 17th century and serves as a reminder of the brutality of the time.
