EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting "Persecuted, but not Forsaken" by Walter Field takes us back to the year 1882. This oil on canvas masterpiece, housed in the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, showcases a profound religious scene that evokes both awe and sympathy. Set against a breathtaking rural landscape at sunset, we witness a group of Presbyterian Covenanters gathered for an evening service. The atmosphere is charged with spirituality as they listen intently to their preacher's sermon. These faithful individuals have endured persecution for their beliefs but remain steadfast in their faith. In this romanticist portrayal, Field skillfully captures the emotions of his subjects through meticulous brushstrokes and vivid colors. A guard stands watch nearby, symbolizing protection against further harm inflicted upon these devoted worshippers. The picturesque British countryside serves as a backdrop for this poignant moment in history. It transports viewers to the 17th century when religious orders faced immense challenges and were often subjected to violence. Through this powerful composition, Field invites us into a world where religion intertwines with resilience and devotion amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the strength found within faith even during times of persecution.
