EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait of George Wishart, captured in a print from the private collection of David Laing, is a powerful depiction of a significant figure in Protestant history. Illustrated by the English School in the 19th century for James Aitken Wylie's "The History of Protestantism" this engraving showcases Wishart's unwavering commitment to his beliefs. George Wishart, born in 1513 and tragically martyred at St. Andrews, was an influential Scottish Protestant reformer during the tumultuous times of religious persecution. The intensity and determination emanating from his half-length portrait reflect his resolute defiance against prevailing religious norms. Wishart's striking beard adds to his commanding presence, symbolizing wisdom and maturity gained through years dedicated to spreading Calvinist teachings. As one of Scotland's most prominent heretics during the Protestant Reformation, he fearlessly challenged established authority with his fervent belief in reform. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their faith amidst adversity. It encapsulates both the courage and tragedy that characterized this pivotal period in history. Through this print, we are transported back to the 16th century - an era marked by profound social change and ideological conflict. It invites us to contemplate not only Wishart's personal journey but also the broader impact of religious dissent on society. As we gaze upon George Wishart’s visage frozen in time, we cannot help but be moved by his steadfastness as he faced martyr
