"Protestants Leaving France 2" is an etching by Jan Luyken, a Dutch poet, illustrator, and engraver of the late 17th century. This work is part of a series that visually documents the persecution of Protestants and their subsequent flight from France following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by King Louis XIV in 1685. The Edict of Fontainebleau, which replaced it, led to the destruction of Protestant churches, the closure of Protestant schools, and the Catholic baptism of Protestants. This period, known as the "Dragonnades," forced many Huguenots to flee the country to avoid forced conversions and other forms of persecution.

Luyken's etching captures the emotional and physical toll of this exodus, depicting the Huguenots as they leave their homeland, often with only their faith and few possessions to sustain them. The work is notable for its detailed rendering of the figures and the poignant portrayal of their plight. It serves as a historical record of the religious intolerance of the era and the resilience of the Huguenot community.

Jan Luyken was known for his detailed and often poignant illustrations, which often reflected his own religious convictions and his interest in the moral and spiritual struggles of his time. "Protestants Leaving France 2" is a testament to his artistic skill and his commitment to documenting the significant religious and social issues of his day. The etching is not only a work of art but also an important historical document that offers insight into the Huguenot experience and the broader European religious landscape of the 17th century.
