EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating woodcut illustration captures the historic moment of Latimer preaching before King Edward VI. The scene is set in a grand hall, where a diverse congregation eagerly gathers to witness this significant event during the English Reformation. Latimer, a prominent preacher and reforming bishop, stands tall at the pulpit, his commanding presence drawing all eyes towards him. As he delivers his sermon with conviction and passion, one can almost feel the energy radiating from him. His words resonate deeply with both the royal courtiers and commoners alike who have gathered to hear him speak. The young king himself sits attentively on his throne, listening intently to every word spoken by this influential figure. Intriguingly captured in this woodcut are various individuals scattered throughout the crowd - priests, monks, clergy members - each representing different religious orders affected by these turbulent times. Their expressions range from curiosity to skepticism as they grapple with their own beliefs amidst an era marked by religious upheaval. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of Latimer's unwavering commitment to spreading Protestant teachings despite facing great opposition. Ultimately labeled a heretic for his beliefs and burned at the stake for refusing to renounce them, Latimer's legacy lives on through works like John Foxe's "Acts and Monuments". Through this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in history that shaped England's religious landscape forever.
