EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, as John Knox fearlessly preaches before the Lords of Congregation in the grand Cathedral of St. Andrews. The year is 1559, a time when religious tensions ran high and Scotland was on the brink of transformation. John Knox, a Scottish clergyman and influential figure in the Protestant Reformation, stands at the pulpit with unwavering conviction. His words echo through the vast cathedral, reaching both noble ears and common folk alike. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as he delivers his sermon - a powerful message that challenges traditional beliefs and advocates for reform. Surrounded by an assembly of nobles who listen intently to his every word, Knox's presence commands attention. His controversial ideas rooted in Calvinism have sparked fervent debates across Scotland, making him both revered by some and reviled by others. The artist David Wilkie skillfully captures this historic scene through intricate lithography techniques. Every line etched into the print tells a story - from the expressions on each face to the architectural details of St. Andrews Cathedral itself. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation published around 1923, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in Scottish history where faith clashed with tradition, sparking change that would shape generations to come.
