EDITORS COMMENTS
John Bruen: From Hunting Squire to Devout Puritan (1560-1625) This evocative image captures John Bruen, a Frenchman by birth, in the midst of a hunting scene. The setting sun casts long shadows over the rolling countryside, as Bruen, dressed in the finery of a nobleman, raises his rifle in pursuit of game. But this image belies the complex and transformative journey of this man's life. Born in France, Bruen was raised in the opulence and luxury of the French court. However, as he grew older, he began to feel the call of a higher power. Despite his privileged upbringing, Bruen was drawn to the simple, devout life of the English Puritans. The Puritans were a religious group that sought to reform the Church of England, believing it to be too closely aligned with the Catholic Church. Their beliefs were considered radical at the time, and many Puritans faced persecution and even death for their convictions. Despite the risks, Bruen made the decision to leave his old life behind and embrace the Puritan faith. He became a fervent and dedicated member of the community, using his wealth and influence to support their cause. This print, titled "John Bruen, Hunting Squire of French Origin, Who Saw the Light and Became a Puritan," serves as a poignant reminder of Bruen's remarkable transformation. It highlights the power of personal conviction and the courage it takes to leave behind a comfortable life in pursuit of one's beliefs. The image also speaks to the complexities of identity and the ways in which it can be shaped by faith and personal growth. Bruen's French heritage and former life as a hunting squire are juxtaposed with his new identity as a devout Puritan, creating a fascinating and thought-provoking portrait of a man who defied expectations and embraced change.
