EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving titled ""He was dragged, like a wild beast, to the cloister"" captures a powerful moment of martyrdom and religious persecution. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection. The scene depicted in the engraving is inspired by John Foxe's "Book of Martyrs" edited by William Bramley-Moore and published around 1880. It portrays Jerome of Prague, a Protestant reformer, being forcefully taken to a cloister against his will. The image symbolizes the brutal treatment endured by those who dared to challenge established religious beliefs during that time. Jerome's expression reflects both defiance and resignation as he is dragged away like a wild beast. This visual narrative serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made for faith and highlights the struggles faced by Protestants in their fight for religious freedom. The artwork evokes strong emotions with its attention to detail and dramatic composition. It speaks not only to Christian values but also raises questions about religion, martyrdom, and human rights across different belief systems. This engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on historical events while contemplating themes such as persecution, spirituality, and resilience in times of adversity.
