EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing illustration from the renowned "Foxes Book of Martyrs" volume III, published in 1684. The image depicts a dramatic scene where a Popish Priest, having stripped away the glory and office of Christ, suddenly collapses and meets his untimely demise. This engraving, created by an anonymous English artist from the 17th century, is part of a private collection. The "Foxes Book of Martyrs" authored by John Foxe (1517-1587), chronicles the stories of Christian martyrs throughout Western history with a special focus on the suffering endured by English Protestants. In this particular illustration, we witness punishment being inflicted upon a popish priest from Crondall (or Crundale) in the Kentish diocese of Canterbury. His offense was applying St John's words to his papal bull of pardon. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the turbulent times during which it was created - amidst religious conflicts and societal transformations brought about by the Reformation movement. It sheds light on both Roman Catholicism and Christianity as they clashed during this period. As we delve into this historical artwork, let us appreciate its significance in documenting these events while acknowledging its artistic merit. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows us to explore not only its historical context but also appreciate it as an exquisite piece that captures both religious fervor and human drama without mentioning any commercial use or specific company affiliation.
