This satirical print, created anonymously in the Netherlands between 1683 and 1684, depicts a satirical scene of the Catholic theologian Theodorus Dominicus being transported on a wheelbarrow into a church. The print is titled "The Key to the Well-Equipped Wheelbarrow, or, The Sworn Edict" and was likely created to critique the Catholic Church and its policies, particularly in relation to the Dutch Revolt and the ongoing conflict between the Catholic and Protestant faiths. This piece exemplifies the use of visual satire to criticize religious figures and institutions.
