EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Archbishop Rowland Jorse of Armagh granting an indulgence in the year 1312. The Archbishop, dressed in his religious robes and holding a crozier, extends his hand in blessing as he grants forgiveness to the faithful. The seal affixed to the document bears the image of the Archbishop, further authenticating the grant. Indulgences were a significant aspect of medieval Christianity, offering the forgiveness of sins and a reduction in the time spent in purgatory. They were granted by the Church hierarchy, including bishops and popes, and were often sought after by the faithful as a means of spiritual cleansing and salvation. This handcoloured etching, drawn and etched by Thomas Fisher, was created from his paintings on the walls of the Chapel of the Trinity in Stratford upon Avon in 1808. The allegorical image of the Archbishop granting indulgence is a powerful reminder of the role of religious leaders in the spiritual lives of their followers during this period. The legend of this print tells us that Archbishop Jorse was a prominent figure in the Church of Ireland during the late medieval period. He served as Archbishop of Armagh from 1304 until his death in 1312. The image of the Archbishop in religious robes, holding a crozier, and granting an indulgence is a striking representation of the power and authority held by the Church during this time. The intricately detailed handcoloured etching, with its rich colours and fine lines, is a testament to the artistic skill of Thomas Fisher. The print, with its historical significance and artistic merit, is a valuable addition to any collection of religious or historical art.
