John Rogers, a name that echoes through time and history. Born in the Highlands of Essex, his talent as an engraver was evident from an early age. In 1831, he engraved a masterpiece that showcased his skill and attention to detail. But it wasn't just his artistic prowess that made John Rogers unforgettable. His work titled "The Genius of Poetry Finding Burns at the Plough" captured the essence of Robert Burns with such precision that it became an iconic piece in 1840. However, not all of John Rogers' engravings depicted moments of joy and inspiration. One haunting woodcut from Acts and Monuments by John Foxe portrayed "The burning of John Rogers. " This chilling image transported viewers back to 1563 when religious persecution claimed innocent lives. In another engraving, we see a scene where someone discovers Mr. Rogers sleeping so deeply that waking him proved challenging. The intensity with which this moment is captured speaks volumes about both the artist's skill and the subject's exhaustion. John Rogers himself also found himself immortalized in engravings throughout history. Whether it was alongside Nicholas Ridley, John Hooper, or Hugh Latimer or being summoned before a council of bishops – his presence left an indelible mark on those who encountered him. Tragically, one particular engraving showcases the burning of martyrs in Smithfield – a grim reminder of the fate suffered by many during those tumultuous times. Yet amidst these somber depictions lies another side to John Rogers' artistry - one filled with life and adventure. An unknown creator captured him in an engraving dating back to the 1860s while depicting American Topsail Schooner sailing gracefully across vast oceans. And then there is "The Death of Wat Tyler, " where John Rogers once again demonstrated his ability to capture pivotal moments in history through artistry alone. This painting transports us back to 1859 when Tyler met his untimely demise, forever etching this event into our collective memory.
