"Morning Star: A Captivating Journey Through History and Art" Step into the enchanting world of the "Morning Star, " where signs and symbols intertwine with captivating illustrations, paintings, and engravings. This collection takes us on a mesmerizing journey through time, exploring various facets of this celestial entity. In 1908, a lithograph titled "Dull Knifes Provocation" captures our attention, hinting at the intriguing power that lies within the morning star. It beckons us to delve deeper into its mysteries. Moving forward, an illustration from Wicliffe before the Convocation at Oxford transports us to a pivotal moment in history. The image reveals the courage and determination of John Wicliffe as he challenges conventional beliefs. Another striking scene unfolds in "Wicliffe and the monks: scene in the bed-chamber. " Here we witness intense confrontations that test Wicliffe's resolve against opposition from religious orders. The allure of phosphorescent beauty is depicted in "Phosphorus and Hesperus, " an oil painting from 1881. Its luminosity reminds us of how morning stars illuminate both physical landscapes and metaphorical journeys. Fast-forwarding to 1932, we encounter "Star of the Morning, " a tempera masterpiece on canvas. Its vibrant colors evoke feelings of hope and inspiration as we contemplate new beginnings illuminated by dawn's first light. History comes alive once more with an illustration depicting "Destruction of the works of Wicliffe at Prague. " This poignant image serves as a reminder that progress often faces adversity but ultimately prevails against all odds. An Italian advertisement for war bonds showcases how even during times of conflict, morning stars symbolize resilience amidst darkness. It speaks volumes about humanity's ability to find strength when faced with adversity. A popular demonstration held at Lambeth Palace further emphasizes society's support for Wicliffe's cause—a testament to his enduring legacy throughout generations.
