EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print captures the essence of Thomas Becon, an influential English cleric and Protestant reformer from the 16th century. Created by J. W. Cook in the 1830s, this image showcases Becon's profile with a side view, emphasizing his strong features and determined expression. Becon's life was marked by significant challenges due to his religious beliefs. As a married priest during the reign of Catholic Queen Mary I, he faced persecution when she ascended to power in 1553. Stripped of his ecclesiastical positions, Becon endured imprisonment in London's Tower before eventually fleeing the country. However, with the accession of Elizabeth I to the throne, Becon returned to England and found solace in her Protestant regime. He was appointed as a canon at Canterbury Cathedral and briefly held the Rectory of Buckland in Hertfordshire in 1560. Theodore Basille skillfully engraved this historical moment onto paper during the Enlightenment era. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this portrayal. This print serves as a testament to Becon's unwavering dedication to his faith amidst adversity. It reminds us of those who fought for religious freedom during turbulent times while highlighting one man's journey from persecution to recognition within society.
