Tekstblad bij de prent van de vervolging der protestanten in Frankrijk na de herroeping van het Edict van Nantes, 1685-1686 1686

This 1686 print by Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe is a powerful example of 17th-century Dutch broadside printing. "Tekstblad bij de prent van de vervolging der protestanten in Frankrijk na de herroeping van het Edict van Nantes, 1685-1686" (Text sheet for the print of the persecution of Protestants in France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, 1685-1686) is a document that details the harsh realities faced by Protestants in France under King Louis XIV. The text provides a harrowing account of persecution, including imprisonment, torture, and forced conversions. This broadside is a poignant reminder of the religious conflicts that plagued Europe in the late 17th century. It is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
