EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the brutal and merciless acts committed during a dark period in history. The print, titled "FOXE: BOOK OF MARTYRS" depicts two separate instances of extreme cruelty and violence. In the foreground, we see a woman and her innocent infant tied together in a bag, their fate sealed as they are callously thrown into a river. This heart-wrenching scene symbolizes the depths of human depravity, where even the most vulnerable among us are not spared from persecution. In contrast, four men hang lifelessly from ropes on a gibbet in the background. Their crime? Eating a goose on a fast day. This shocking display of punishment highlights the strict religious beliefs that governed society during this time - any deviation from prescribed practices was met with severe consequences. The line engraving is taken from an 18th-century English edition of John Foxe's renowned work, "The Book of Martyrs". First published in 1563, this influential text chronicles the struggles faced by Protestants during the Reformation era. Through this powerful visual representation, we are confronted with both physical and psychological torment endured by those deemed heretics or enemies of established religious institutions. It serves as a stark reminder of humanity's capacity for cruelty and underscores our ongoing need for compassion and understanding to prevent such atrocities from recurring.
