EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Burning of Wishart at St. Andrews, 1546" takes us back to a significant moment in Scottish history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the dramatic scene with great detail and emotion. The image depicts the horrifying execution of George Wishart, a prominent Scottish Protestant reformer who was accused of heresy during the religious turmoil of the time. The flames engulfing him symbolize his unwavering commitment to his beliefs and his ultimate sacrifice for them. Displayed against a backdrop of St. Andrews, Scotland's historic town known for its religious significance, this engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by those who fought for their faith during this turbulent period. Originally published as an illustration for "The Scots Worthies" by Blackie in 1879, this artwork has become an enduring representation of Scottish history and martyrdom. Its inclusion in private collections ensures that it remains accessible to those seeking to understand and appreciate Scotland's rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, let us remember George Wishart's bravery and reflect on how far society has come since these dark times. May it serve as a testament to our collective journey towards tolerance and freedom of belief.
