John Foxe's ninth edition publication in 1684 adds to our understanding with lithographic illustrations showcasing a variety of tortures inflicted upon these faithful souls. Further exploration reveals additional depictions spanning centuries - a c. 1450-60 oil painting portraying Christ's flagellation on panel; an illustration from Foxes Martyrs circa 1703 depicting Thomas Hinshaw scourged by Bp Bonner amidst Fulham's orchard; and a mesmerizing portrayal in oils from 1444 capturing both St. Jerome's dream and his apparition to Sulpicius Severus and St. Augustine. From vellum manuscripts to grand canvases, artists have sought to immortalize this intense act throughout time - each stroke revealing emotions ranging from agony to transcendence.
