This 17th-century engraving by Claes Jansz. Visscher, titled *Het ontdekken, wegslepen en weer ophangen van de lichaamsdelen van Slatius, Coorenwinder en Gerrits*, depicts the gruesome discovery and dismemberment of the bodies of three men accused of treason. The artwork is divided into six scenes that detail the process of their punishment, with accompanying text explaining the events. The stark black and white imagery underscores the brutality of the scene, showcasing the power of the Dutch Republic in the 17th century. This work is a powerful example of Dutch art and provides a glimpse into the social and political climate of the time.
