EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print, titled "De Vlugt Van t Pausdom Uit Engelant" is a captivating piece of historical art created by Romeyn de Hooghe in 1689. The intricate etching with letterpress depicts an extraordinary scene filled with symbolism and political commentary. At the forefront of the image, we see Louis XIV, famously known as the Sun King, riding a bear while sporting a peg leg. He leads the flight of Catholicism from England, drawing his sword to strike a lion as an eagle attacks a cock on his head. Father Petre follows closely behind, riding a large dog harnessed to a wagon carrying James II, the Queen, and their infant son James Francis - also known as the Pretender - who holds onto a windmill. In this romanticized yet satirical representation of history, even the dog defecates on the crown symbolizing disdain for royalty. A mischievous black imp harasses Father Petre with bellows while Pantagion brings up the rear riding a wolf and wearing a hat that shoots bombs. The middle distance reveals priests and monks fleeing London in fear of persecution. In contrast to this chaos below them, Pope Innocent XI wheels in on his bishop's chair in the upper right corner. This antique print showcases not only de Hooghe's artistic skill but also serves as an illustrative technique capturing significant events during that time period. It offers us insight into historical culture through its detailed engravings and provides us with nostalgia for centuries past.
