"A Thankful Remembrance of the Powder Plot" is an engraving by Friedrich van Hulsen, a notable artist of the early 17th century, known for his detailed and intricate works. This particular piece commemorates the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, an infamous attempt by a group of English Catholics to assassinate King James I and members of the Parliament by blowing up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament. The plot was foiled on the night of November 4th, when Guy Fawkes, one of the conspirators, was discovered guarding the explosives placed beneath the House of Lords.

Van Hulsen's engraving serves not only as a historical recount of the event but also as a piece of propaganda, emphasizing the divine intervention that supposedly saved King James I and his government. The artwork is rich in symbolism and detail, reflecting the political and religious tensions of the time. It portrays key figures involved in the plot, the discovery of the conspiracy, and perhaps allegorical elements representing the triumph of Protestantism over Catholicism, aligning with the sentiments of the ruling class in Jacobean England.

The work is significant for its artistic merit as well as its historical context, offering insights into the ways art was used to influence public opinion and commemorate political events in the early modern period. "A Thankful Remembrance of the Powder Plot" remains an important piece for scholars studying the intersection of art, politics, and religion in 17th-century England.
