EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts John Wycliffe, a prominent figure in history who played a crucial role as the forerunner of the Protestant Reformation. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases Wycliffe's remarkable presence and intellect. John Wycliffe, born around 1330 and passing away in 1384, was not only an English philosopher but also a theologian and religious reformer. His most significant contribution lies in his initiation of translating the Bible into English, making it accessible to common people rather than being confined to Latin texts understood only by clergy members. In this half-length portrait, Wycliffe exudes wisdom and determination with his well-groomed beard and mustache. He wears a hat that adds to his scholarly appearance, symbolizing his dedication to knowledge and education during the medieval era. The image captures both the historical significance of John Wycliffe's work and his personal attributes as a visionary leader. It serves as a reminder of how one individual can spark transformative change within society through their ideas and actions. This enchanting portrayal is part of a private collection but has been made available for public appreciation thanks to Ken Welsh. As an out-of-copyright artwork from www. bridgemanimages. com's Fine Art Finder database, it allows us all to admire this influential figure who shaped religious thought during the fourteenth century.
