EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment in the 16th century. The image showcases Hugh Latimer, an influential figure of his time, delivering a powerful sermon before King Edward VI at Westminster in 1547. This woodcut was originally featured in John Foxe's renowned publication "Acts and Monuments" from 1563. The scene unfolds within a grand cathedral, with Latimer standing confidently at the pulpit as he addresses the congregation. His words echo through the vast space, reaching not only those present but also resonating throughout history. The crowd gathered below listens intently to his impassioned speech, their faces reflecting a mix of awe and admiration for this brave preacher. King Edward VI sits on his throne in the gallery above, attentively absorbing every word spoken by Latimer. As one of England's most influential monarchs during the Protestant Reformation era, Edward's presence adds weight to this profound moment. The composition is expertly captured by an unknown English artist from that period. Their attention to detail allows us to witness this pivotal event firsthand centuries later. This remarkable woodcut now resides in a private collection but continues to serve as a testament to both religious reform and political power during this transformative period in English history.
