The Bishops before the Privy Council 1688 - A Glimpse into England's Historical Struggles
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in English history, showcasing "The Bishops before the Privy Council" in 1688. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist during the 19th century, is now part of a private collection. The image transports us back to a time when religious and political tensions ran high. In this scene, we witness seven courageous bishops standing before the formidable Privy Council. Their resolute expressions reveal their unwavering commitment to defend their beliefs against oppressive forces. This historic event took place during King James II's reign when he attempted to assert his absolute power over the Church of England. However, these brave bishops refused to comply with his controversial policies that threatened both their faith and autonomy. Their defiance sparked widespread public support and became known as "the seven bishops". This pivotal moment ultimately contributed to James II's downfall and paved the way for greater religious tolerance in England. Through this evocative engraving, we are reminded of the enduring struggle for freedom of conscience and belief throughout history. It serves as a testament to those who stood up against tyranny and fought for what they believed was right. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand one chapter in England's rich tapestry of historical struggles.
