Henricus Slatius, met hand- en voetboeien, 1623 1623

This 17th-century engraving by an anonymous artist depicts Hendrick Daniel Satius, a Dutch preacher, in shackles. The piece is likely a broadside, a type of printed sheet used for announcements or to disseminate news, often including images and texts. Satius is shown in profile, standing with hands bound, his face marked by worry. The engraving’s stark detail and use of text, written in Dutch, are characteristic of early modern printmaking. This piece offers insight into the anxieties of a community grappling with religious tensions and political turmoil.
