EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Adriaan Schoonebeek depicts a significant moment in history - King James II's departure from Ireland after his defeat at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. The print showcases the monarch's tumultuous journey, as he sought refuge in France following his exile due to William III's Glorious Revolution of 1688. In an attempt to regain his crown, King James sailed to Ireland accompanied by French troops and with hopes of support from Irish Catholics. However, their efforts were thwarted when they faced defeat at the hands of William III's forces during the decisive Battle of the Boyne. This marked a turning point for both religious and political landscapes. The etching captures not only the physical departure but also conveys deeper themes such as religious intolerance, bigotry, and persecution that plagued this era. It serves as a powerful reminder of how religion played a pivotal role in shaping historical events. Schoonebeek's attention to detail is evident through intricate depictions of ships docked at Waterford port where King James embarked on his journey back to France. The composition evokes a sense of melancholy and reflection as we witness this defeated monarch leaving behind a land marred by conflict. This artwork stands as an important piece within Jacobite propaganda, highlighting key figures like King James and depicting their struggle against Protestant rule under William III. Through its historical significance and artistic merit, this etching offers us valuable insights into one chapter of European history characterized by war
