EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Flight of the Pope from England), is a captivating and intricately detailed print from the year 1689, showcasing a pivotal moment in the history of the Catholic Church in England. The image depicts King Louis XIV of France, with a peg leg, riding a bear as he leads the exodus of Catholicism from England. With a determined look on his face and his sword drawn, Louis XIV is poised to strike a lion, symbolizing the Protestant forces, while a cock on his helmet is attacked by an eagle, representing the papacy under threat. Following closely behind is Father Petre, riding a large dog harnessed to a wagon carrying the fleeing royal family: King James II, his queen, and their infant son, James Francis, known as the Pretender. The dog defecates on the crown, symbolizing the chaos and disorder of their hasty departure. Father Petre is harassed by a black imp with bellows, representing the Protestant forces, while Pantagion, with sword drawn and bomb-shooting hat, rides a wolf, bringing up the rear of the procession. In the middle distance, a long line of priests and monks flee London, as Pope Innocent XI wheels in a bishop in the upper right corner. This print, created in 1689, vividly portrays the tumultuous events of the time, as Catholicism sought refuge in France following the Glorious Revolution in England. This historic print offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious and political upheaval of the late 17th century.
