EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of John Wyclif, believed to have been created before 1591. The artwork is executed in oil on paper or possibly parchment and mounted on a wooden panel covered with canvas. Measuring 41 x 35.5 cm, this piece is not marked but bears an intriguing upper right inscription: JOHANNES WICKLEF, Anno Domini, M CCC X CIII. The artist responsible for this exquisite portrayal remains uncertain; however, it has been attributed to Hans Bock d. A. , who hailed from Zabern/Elsass around the years 1550-52 and passed away in Basel in 1624. The attention to detail and skillful brushwork evident in this painting are truly commendable. John Wyclif himself was a prominent figure during the late medieval period, known for his influential religious teachings and criticisms of the Catholic Church's practices. This portrait captures his essence with great finesse, portraying him as both wise and contemplative. Preserved through time, this print allows us to appreciate the artistry of yesteryears while providing a glimpse into the life of one of history's most significant thinkers. Its historical value combined with its artistic merit makes it an invaluable addition to any collection or exhibition dedicated to Renaissance portraiture or religious reform movements.
