The Scourging of George Penn by the Familiars of the Inquisition
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful engraving that captures a moment of intense religious persecution during the 19th century. This haunting image, created by an anonymous English artist, depicts the brutal punishment inflicted upon George Penn, a Protestant martyr. The scene unfolds with chilling detail as Penn endures his torment at the hands of merciless familiars. The artist skillfully portrays their sinister presence and captures the anguish etched on Penn's face. The engraving serves as an illustration for "The Book of Martyrs" by John Foxe, edited by William Bramley-Moore in 1880. This artwork not only highlights one man's suffering but also symbolizes the broader struggle faced by Protestants during this tumultuous period in history. It speaks to themes of religious intolerance and persecution that were prevalent at that time. Through its intricate composition and meticulous attention to detail, this print invites viewers to reflect on Christian values and contemplate the sacrifices made for faith. It serves as a reminder of how religion has shaped our world and continues to influence our beliefs today. As we gaze upon this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded of both humanity's capacity for cruelty and its unwavering commitment to faith in times of adversity.
