EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures Hannah Trapnel (1626-1659), a charismatic and influential figure in the radical religious movement known as the Fifth Monarchy Men or Women in the mid-17th century England. Trapnel, also known as Anna Trapnel, was a prophetess and a member of this sect, which believed that Oliver Cromwell was the long-awaited prophesied monarch who would usher in God's kingdom on earth. The photograph depicts Trapnel in a moment of fervent devotion, her eyes closed and her hands raised in prayer or perhaps in the act of speaking divine revelations. Her simple, plain attire and the austere background emphasize her humility and her focus on the spiritual realm. Trapnel was known for her prophetic visions and her eloquent preaching, which drew large crowds and stirred the emotions of her listeners. The Fifth Monarchy Men and Women were a radical group, seeking to establish a theocratic government based on biblical principles. They believed that the establishment of God's kingdom was imminent and that all existing political and social structures needed to be dismantled in order to make way for the new order. Trapnel's prophecies and her charismatic leadership played a significant role in inspiring and mobilizing the members of this movement. Despite her popularity and influence, Trapnel and the Fifth Monarchy Men and Women were eventually suppressed by the authorities, and Trapnel was imprisoned several times for her beliefs. She continued to preach and write, however, and her legacy as a prophetic figure and a champion of religious freedom endured. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the passion and conviction that animated the religious and political upheavals of the English Civil War era.
