Felicitas met haar zeven zonen onthoofd; Jan Woutersz van Kuyk en Adriaanken Jans te Dordrecht verbrand, 1572 1805

This 1805 etching by Dutch artist Ernst Willem Jan Bagelaar depicts the gruesome scene of the beheading of Felicitas and her seven sons and the burning of Jan Woutersz van Kuyk and Adriaanken Jans in Dordrecht, Netherlands in 1572. The artist uses a detailed style to capture the tragedy of this event, with a large crowd of figures surrounding the executions. The work is a testament to the violence of the Dutch Revolt, a period of great upheaval in Dutch history, and offers viewers a glimpse into the brutal realities of religious conflict. This work is a notable example of the use of etching to create historical documentation and provide a visual record of the past.
