"Protestantisme: A Journey Through History and Struggle" Step into the world of Protestantism, a religious movement that has left an indelible mark on history. From the burning of Michel Servet in Geneva by order of Calvin to the Siege of La Rochelle, these events have shaped the course of this faith. In "Histoire des popes, " a 19th-century account, witness the horrifying fate suffered by Servet as he was burned alive for his beliefs. This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the intense conflicts that arose during this time.

Traveling across continents, we encounter the Tribe of Timucua Indians and their fascinating ceremony where they bring forth a chosen wife for their chief. Even amidst cultural diversity, religion plays a significant role in shaping societies. Delving deeper into political turmoil, witness Henry III's assassination attempt on Henry Guise in 1588 through an evocative watercolor painting from c. 1930. These power struggles between Catholics and Protestants were rife with violence and tension. The expulsion of Huguenots from Toulouse on May 17th, 1562 is vividly captured in Antoine Rivalz's oil painting at Musee Des Augustins. It portrays both tragedy and resilience as these individuals faced persecution due to their religious beliefs. Jean Calvin himself takes center stage through an engraving that immortalizes his influence within Protestantism. His teachings continue to shape theological thought even today.
