1702 Allegorical Allegory Anabaptists Assailed Depiction Divine Heresy Sects Thunderbolts


EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative print, published in 1702, depicts an allegorical representation of the Anabaptist heresy being assailed by divine thunderbolts. The Anabaptists were a radical Protestant sect that emerged in Europe during the 16th century, known for their belief in adult baptism and the separation of church and state. This belief system was considered loathsome by many in the established religious and political order, and was frequently subjected to harsh persecution. In this print, the Anabaptist figure, depicted as a man with a long beard and wearing simple clothing, is shown being attacked by bolts of lightning from the heavens. The caption at the bottom of the image reads "Divina Vindicta" or "Divine Vengeance," emphasizing the notion that the Anabaptists were being punished by God for their heretical beliefs. The print serves as a stark reminder of the religious and political tensions of the time, and the fierce opposition to religious dissent. The use of allegory in this print is significant, as it allowed the artist to convey complex ideas and messages in a visually compelling way. The image of the Anabaptist being struck by thunderbolts was a common motif in anti-Anabaptist propaganda, and served to reinforce the idea that the sect was not only heretical, but also deserving of divine punishment. The print also reflects the broader cultural and historical context of the time, with its emphasis on religious orthodoxy and the use of visual imagery to convey complex ideas.
