EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 17th century depicts a significant historical event - the burning of Bishop Ridley and Father Latimer at Oxford. The scene is filled with intense emotions as these two martyrs face their tragic fate. The table in the foreground serves as a visual narrative, describing the events unfolding before our eyes. Amidst the chaos, we see Dr Smith passionately preaching to onlookers, adding an element of religious fervor to this solemn occasion. Soldiers armed with pikes stand guard, their uniforms reflecting the fashion of that time period. The clothing worn by Bishop Ridley and Father Latimer symbolizes their unwavering faith and commitment to their beliefs. This satirical drawing cleverly combines elements of caricature and scathing satire. It offers a critical commentary on religion and society during this era. Through its powerful imagery, it invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as martyrdom, persecution, and freedom of belief. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line tells a story. This print captures not only an important moment in history but also showcases the skillful artistry of English School artists from centuries ago. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this piece continues to captivate audiences with its rich symbolism and thought-provoking message about faith, sacrifice, and human resilience.
