EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Arlequin Sur L hippogryphe A La Croisade Lojoliste Armee Van Den Heylige Lingue Voor Der Jesuiten Monarchy" is a fascinating depiction of political satire and symbolism. Created by Romeyn De Hooghe in 1689, this etching and engraving showcases the power dynamics and religious conflicts of the time. At the center of the image, we see Louis XIV portrayed as Harlequin, a traditional character known for his wit and mischief. Riding on a jackass called Hippogryphe, he leads a holy crusade while wearing armor and an oversized biretta that also covers James II's head. The shield hanging from the saddle bears the monogram IHS of the Society of Jesus, emphasizing their influence. Intriguingly, Father Petre, James II's confessor rides a lobster with James Francis (the Pretender) perched atop his head adorned with a small windmill. This symbolizes both their precarious positions within society and their association with deceitful tactics. The background reveals further chaos: ambassadors ride on snails while councillors and vicars are mounted on owls. Monks drag cannons past gallows as statues are torn down from church facades. Meanwhile, Sinte Reynuyt ship departs into uncertain waters. Accompanied by descriptive verse and numbered figures to decipher its intricate details, this print offers insight into political alliances, religious tensions, and societal upheaval during this period in history. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical commentary that continues to captivate viewers today.
