EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1798 depicts John Knox the younger, a prominent Scottish preacher and writer of the 16th century. The portrait, created by Thomas Trotter, showcases the distinguished features of this influential figure in Scottish history. John Knox the younger is believed to have been the moderator of the Synod of Mersa in Germany and a renowned preacher at Rotterdam. He is also known for his authorship of "The History of the Reformation of Religion within the Realme of Scotland" in 1581. This engraving was based on an original painting housed in Hamilton Palace. In this print, we see a man who exudes wisdom and determination. His piercing gaze reflects his deep commitment to religious reform during a time when Protestantism was gaining momentum across Europe. As one of Scotland's most notable figures during this period, John Knox played a crucial role in shaping both Christianity and Scottish culture. This engraving not only captures John Knox's physical appearance but also serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as a writer, preacher, and advocate for religious freedom. It stands as an important historical artifact that allows us to connect with Scotland's rich past and appreciate its contributions to literature, religion, and European history.
