John Knox (c. 1514-1572) was a Scottish reformer who played a significant role in the Protestant Reformation. His influence and legacy are captured in various images and locations. One such image is a wood engraving published in 1881, which depicts John Knox during his time as a French galley slave from 1547 to 1549. This engraving symbolizes his unwavering commitment to the cause of religious reform. Another notable location associated with John Knox is his house on Canongate, Edinburgh. The sun dial and carving on this historic building reflect the rich history of Scotland's Protestant movement. In contrast, an image taken at the Park Tower Hotel in Knightsbridge shows John and Barbara Knox enjoying their suite. This photograph offers a glimpse into their personal lives, reminding us that even great reformers had moments of relaxation amidst their tireless efforts. The Reformation Wall in Parc des Bastions, Geneva serves as another reminder of John Knox's impact beyond Scotland. This monument pays tribute to key figures who championed religious freedom across Europe, including our Scottish protagonist. A coloured engraving portrays an intense moment when John Knox bears a sword before George Wishart after an attempted assassination at Dundee. It showcases his dedication to protecting fellow reformers against threats posed by opponents of change. Additionally, there is evidence of political engagement between Presbyterian reformer John Knox and Mary, Queen of Scots through a colour lithograph from the 1560s. Their meeting reflects tensions surrounding religion during that era. Artistic representations also capture different aspects of John Knox's life: pencil watercolour bodycolour paintings depict both his residence in Glasgow and his portrait engraved with meticulous detail - preserving his likeness for generations to come. Lastly, an engraving commemorates one of the final moments in this influential figure's life - returning from church after preaching his last sermon on November 9th, 1572.
