"No Monarchy, No Popery" is a satirical engraving by Romeyn de Hooghe from 1690 depicting a complex allegory of the Glorious Revolution in England. The artwork is divided into multiple scenes, each one symbolizing an event or theme related to the overthrow of King James II and the establishment of William and Mary as monarchs. De Hooghe, known for his political prints, uses this elaborate composition to criticize James II's policies and celebrate the new Protestant regime, highlighting themes of religious freedom and constitutionalism.
