De Kabeljauwen verdreven uit Amsterdam, 1444 1782 - 1784

"De Kabeljauwen verdreven uit Amsterdam, 1444" is an etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke, created between 1782 and 1784. It depicts a historical scene from 1444, where the powerful "Kabeljauw" faction was expelled from Amsterdam. The etching shows a bustling city square with several buildings in the background, including a tall tower, which is likely the city's town hall. In the foreground, a group of armed men, presumably the victors, confront a fallen figure, symbolizing the defeat of the Kabeljauwen. The scene is filled with action and tension, reflecting the turbulent political climate of 15th-century Amsterdam. This etching is now part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum.
