Burn Burned At The Stake Faggots Kill Martyrdom Martyrs Oppression Persecution Religious Intolerance Flames
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the tragic event known as "The Burning of John Fishcock and the martyrdom of Robert Glover". Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 18th century, this engraving depicts a moment of intense religious persecution during the Tudor era. In striking black and white, we witness John Fishcock's horrifying fate as he is burned at the stake in Canterbury on June 19th, 1557. The flames engulf him, symbolizing both his physical suffering and unwavering faith. Alongside him stands Robert Glover, another victim of religious intolerance. The image serves as a haunting reminder of the oppression faced by those who dared to challenge prevailing beliefs. It speaks volumes about the lengths people went to enforce conformity and suppress dissenting voices during that time. Through this artwork, we are transported back to a dark period where individuals like Fishcock and Glover paid the ultimate price for their convictions. Their martyrdom represents not only their personal sacrifice but also countless others who suffered similar fates throughout history. As we reflect upon this image from our private collection, let us remember these brave souls who stood up against injustice despite facing certain death. May it serve as a poignant reminder that freedom of belief should be cherished and protected for all humanity.
