Portrait of Jan Beukelsz. van Leiden (Jan van Leyden); Iohannes Bucholdi á Leyda; History of churches and hutting (...) until the year Onses Heeren 1688. Portrait of Jan Beukelsz. To Leiden (Jan van Leyden) from a series of 28 portraits in the second part of history of churches and ketting from the beginning of the new testaments to the year Onses Heeren 1688 from Godfried Arnold (1701). Jan Beukelsz., Alias Jan van Leiden was the self-thoroughly king of the betters in Munster around 1534-35, the place of the new Jerusalem. On the print, the moment is displayed on which Beukelsz. Market square enters to speak straight. Beukelsz. - Richly dressed - is shown in full length and in front view, with his right hand leaning on a sword and his right foot resting on the name block. A young servant hands him the Bible on which the royal wreath with globe is which looks like the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire. A lakei holds his horse to the halter behind him. Two more moments from the history of Jan van Leyden are pictured: after the army had taken Munster in 1535, he was captured on accusation of bringing a forbidden religion in the city. He was sentenced to death: left is Beukelsz. Attached to a pole bound where he is edited with glowing tongs. In the background the outcome can be seen: the Body of Beukelsz. Hidden in a cage and hung as an attraction on the south side of the Sint-Lambertuskerk in Münster.
