EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Hans Holbein the Younger depicts John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, during his final moments before being beheaded in the reign of King Henry VIII. John Fisher was an English Catholic bishop, theologian, and Chancellor of the University of Cambridge. Born around October 19th, 1469, he met a tragic end on June 22nd, 1535. The engraving showcases Fisher's dignified presence as he stands firm in his religious beliefs despite facing persecution. His expression reflects both strength and serenity amidst impending doom. The intricate details captured by Holbein highlight the bishop's regal attire and gentle features. Published in the Universal Magazine in 1748, this engraving serves as a historical testament to one man's unwavering faith during a tumultuous period marked by religious upheaval. It symbolizes the struggle between Catholicism and Protestantism that defined England during Henry VIII's reign. Fisher's story is not only significant within religious circles but also holds broader social implications for those who value freedom of conscience and belief. This print invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as martyrdom, religious tolerance or intolerance, and personal conviction. As we gaze upon this powerful image from Fine Art Finder courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of the sacrifices made throughout history for principles held dear – even when faced with dire consequences.
