The Examination of Wm Hale before Bishop Bonner, illustration from Foxes Martyrs
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a chilling moment in history. Depicting the infamous Edmund Bonner, Bishop of London during the reign of Mary I, this print transports us back to a time when religious persecution was rampant. Known as Bloody Bonner for his ruthless attempts to eradicate Protestantism through torture and burning at the stake, he stands as a symbol of intolerance and cruelty. In this scene, William Hale, a brave Protestant martyr, faces his accuser with unwavering resolve. The tension is palpable as Hale's faith is put to trial by fire. The engraving skillfully conveys both the physicality and emotional weight of this pivotal moment in history. The image serves as a haunting reminder of the lengths people will go to defend their beliefs and uphold their faith against oppressive forces. It also pays homage to John Foxe's influential work "Foxes Book of Martyrs" which documented these acts of religious persecution. This lithograph from the 18th century offers us an opportunity to reflect on our own commitment to freedom and tolerance in today's world. As we gaze upon this powerful artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us remember those who sacrificed everything for their beliefs and strive towards creating a more inclusive society where such atrocities are never repeated.
