The captivating engraving titled "The Trial of John Wycliffe (1330-1384) in 1378" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the intense atmosphere surrounding the trial of John Wycliffe, an influential figure during his time. Wycliffe, a renowned religious reformer and theologian, is depicted standing confidently within a grand pulpit while being accused by members of the clergy. The engraving beautifully captures the tension between Wycliffe and his accusers as they stand guard with their imposing armor. It is evident that this trial was no ordinary event; it marked a turning point in religious history.
