EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in history, depicting the description of a Popish priest who met an untimely demise after attempting to usurp the glory and office of Christ. Illustrated from Foxes Martyrs c. 1703, this lithograph by English School (18th century) is part of The Stapleton Collection. Intriguingly set in the 16th century, also known as the sixteenth century or xvi century, this image transports us back to a time when religious tensions ran high. The figure of the fallen priest lies motionless on the ground, symbolizing the consequences that befell those who challenged Protestant beliefs during this period. The crowd surrounding him consists of protestants gathered in congregation to witness this extraordinary event unfold before their eyes. Among them are children and adults alike, representing different generations united in their faith and devotion. The pulpit stands prominently at the center of attention, serving as a powerful reminder of religious authority and truth. This scene serves as a testament to John Fox's influential work "Foxes Book of Martyrs" which chronicled stories like these with great detail and fervor. As we delve into this historical snapshot captured through engraving techniques by Mzengraving for Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded not only of past conflicts but also how art can immortalize significant moments that shape our understanding today.
