Defenestration of Prague
“Hradčany Castle, May 23, 1618. Bohemian Protestants hurl two Catholic regents and a secretary from a high window. Foreground shows Slavata grasping at a curtain as he tips through the sash; midground reveals nobles shouting in the chamber and clerks scattering papers; the red-tiled roofs of the Malá Strana drop away to the Vltava below.”
