This anonymous engraving, titled "Arminian Snake with the Conspirators Against Maurice", depicts a symbolic representation of a political conflict in 17th century Netherlands. The image features a snake entwined around a tree with the heads of prominent Arminians. The snake symbolizes Arminianism, a theological movement that challenged the Calvinist doctrine, while Maurice of Nassau represents the ruling party. The text around the image provides further details of this complex political and religious conflict. This artwork, held in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the tumultuous period of Dutch history.
