EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a haunting scene from history, titled "The Picture of the Hanging and Burning of Diverse Persons Counted for Lollards, in the First Year of the Reign of King Henry V". Created by an anonymous English artist in the 16th century, this woodcut image is part of John Foxe's renowned book "Acts and Monuments" also known as "Foxe's Book of Martyrs". In this chilling depiction, we witness a crowd gathered to witness the execution of individuals accused of being Lollards. The condemned are shown hanging from gallows while others are engulfed in flames at stake. This grim portrayal serves as a reminder of the brutal persecution faced by those deemed heretics during this period. The intensity and emotion conveyed through this artwork evoke feelings ranging from shock to empathy. It transports us back to 1413 when religious dissent was met with extreme punishment. As we reflect on these events, we cannot help but be moved by the courage displayed by those who stood up for their beliefs despite facing such horrific consequences. This print offers a glimpse into a dark chapter in history that should never be forgotten. It serves as both a testament to human resilience and a stark warning against intolerance and persecution.
