Het verbranden van de roomse beelden na het vertrek van het Franse leger uit Utrecht, 1673 1719 - 1728

This anonymous etching, created between 1719 and 1728, depicts the burning of Catholic statues in Utrecht following the departure of the French army in 1673. It captures the public spectacle of religious iconoclasm, as figures gather around a bonfire in the foreground, set against the backdrop of a grand building. The image offers a glimpse into the Dutch Republic's complex religious and political landscape, showcasing the tension between Catholic and Protestant factions in the wake of French occupation.
