EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, titled "Knox throwing the Image Overboard" we are transported back to a pivotal moment in Scottish history. The image depicts John Knox, a prominent figure of the Protestant Reformation in Scotland during the 16th century. With great determination and conviction, Knox is shown hurling an image overboard into the depths of turbulent waters. This act symbolizes his fierce opposition to idolatry and his unwavering commitment to reforming religious practices in Scotland. The artist's attention to detail brings forth a sense of urgency and intensity. The crashing waves mirror the tumultuous times that surrounded Knox's efforts to challenge traditional beliefs and establish a more puritanical form of worship. This print serves as an illustration for "The Scots Worthies" a book published by Blackie in 1879. It captures not only an important historical event but also embodies the spirit of resilience and defiance against oppressive forces. As we gaze upon this digitally cleaned image from Bridgeman Images, we can't help but be drawn into its narrative power. It reminds us of how individuals like John Knox played significant roles in shaping our world today through their unwavering dedication to their beliefs.
