EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Waldenses missionary/troubador from the 12th century, proudly displaying his vernacular Bible. The Waldenses were a Christian sect known for their devotion to Christ through simplicity and poverty, which often led to persecution by the Roman Catholic Church. In this portrait, we see a man who has dedicated his life to spreading the teachings of Christianity in its purest form. His worn-out clothes and humble demeanor reflect his commitment to living in poverty as an act of faith. Holding up his treasured vernacular Bible, he symbolizes the importance of making religious texts accessible to all people, regardless of social status or education. The engraving beautifully captures both the determination and resilience that characterized these early missionaries. Their unwavering belief in their cause empowered them to face persecution with courage and conviction. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the profound impact religion can have on individuals' lives throughout history. It also highlights how acts of protest against established institutions can arise from deep-rooted beliefs. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the dedication and sacrifice made by these Waldenses missionaries/troubadours who played an essential role in shaping Protestantism as we know it today.
