EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "She found him sleeping so profoundly, that she had some difficulty in awaking him" by Francis Wilfred Lawson depicts a powerful moment of religious significance. The scene portrays the imprisonment of John Rogers, a Protestant martyr during the tumultuous period of religious persecution. In this poignant image, we witness a woman, likely the keeper's wife, discovering Rogers in deep slumber within his cell. His profound sleep symbolizes his unwavering faith and trust in God despite facing imminent danger. The woman's struggle to awaken him represents the challenges faced by those who sought to suppress Protestantism and silence its followers. This engraving is an illustration for "The Book of Martyrs" by John Foxe edited by William Bramley-Moore, published around 1880. It serves as a visual testament to the courage and resilience displayed by individuals who were persecuted for their Christian beliefs. Lawson's attention to detail brings forth an atmosphere charged with emotion and tension. Through this artwork, viewers are invited to reflect on themes such as religious devotion, sacrifice, and the power of faith even in times of adversity. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded not only of historical events but also encouraged to contemplate our own convictions and values amidst challenging circumstances.
