EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Gallia and the French Catholic Church watch how the Reformed Church is lashed" we are transported back to a tumultuous period in history. Created by Adriaen Haelwegh, Jan Luyken, and Jan Claesz ten Hoorn in 1696, this artwork vividly portrays the clash between two religious factions during the Reformation. The scene unfolds as Gallia, personifying France, stands alongside the powerful Roman Catholic Church. Together they observe with an air of approval as a wild man mercilessly whips the helpless figures representing the French Reformed Church. This chilling depiction symbolizes the persecution faced by believers who dared to challenge traditional Catholicism. The print captures not only a historical moment but also embodies larger themes such as religious intolerance and political power struggles. The monarchy's influence looms large over this small corner of society where expulsion and violence were used to suppress Protestantism. As we contemplate this thought-provoking image, it serves as a stark reminder of humanity's capacity for cruelty in the name of faith. Quint Lox masterfully brings attention to these important historical events through his analysis of "Gallia and the French Catholic Church watch how the Reformed Church is lashed. "
