EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Charles Wesley, an influential 18th century English preacher and hymn writer. Born in 1707, he was the brother of John Wesley, with whom he co-founded Methodism, a significant movement within Christianity. Charles's profound impact on religious music is evident through his creation of over 5500 hymns, including timeless classics like "Jesu, Lover of my soul" "Love divine, all loves excelling" and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing". In this black and white wood engraving portrait captured by William Hamilton and preserved by Ann Ronan Pictures, we see a distinguished man who dedicated his life to spreading the message of faith. As a clergyman and evangelist within the Church of England (Anglican), Charles played a vital role in shaping Protestantism during the eighteenth century. His non-conformist beliefs led him to challenge traditional practices while emphasizing personal piety and spiritual transformation. This print serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of history's most prolific hymn writers. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into the life and work of Charles Wesley—a man whose words continue to inspire millions around the world today.
