EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Philip Earl of Arundel, In the Tower under sentence of death" transports us back to a tumultuous period in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of religious persecution and martyrdom. The image depicts Philip Earl of Arundel, a devout Catholic priest, confined within the walls of the Tower. The somber expression on his face reflects his impending doom as he awaits his sentence of death. This powerful illustration was originally intended for Bishop Challoner's Memoirs of Missionary Priests published in 1878. Intricately engraved with meticulous attention to detail, this lithograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals who held steadfastly to their faith during times when Roman Catholics faced severe persecution. It symbolizes their unwavering commitment and willingness to die for their beliefs. Through its composition and use of light and shadow, this artwork evokes a sense of solemnity and reverence. It invites viewers to contemplate not only the personal tragedy endured by Philip Earl of Arundel but also the broader historical context surrounding religious freedom. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that art has always been a powerful medium for capturing moments that shape our collective memory.
