EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the Protestant Reformation as Farel and his companions brave the treacherous Alps. Illustrated by the talented English School, this engraving is an exquisite portrayal of William Farel's journey across the snowy mountain range. In 16th century Switzerland, amidst a blizzard, these courageous riders are seen battling against nature's fury. Clutching their walking staffs tightly, they press forward on horseback through the unforgiving winter landscape. The hardship etched on their faces reflects both their determination and unwavering faith. Farel, a French evangelist and one of the founders of the Reformed Church in Switzerland, led this perilous expedition to spread Protestantism throughout various cantons including Neuchâtel, Berne, Geneva, and Vaud. His commitment to his cause is evident as he fearlessly leads his fellow travelers through these majestic yet formidable mountains. The snow-covered peaks serve as a stark backdrop for this scene of resilience and endurance. As Farel rides ahead with conviction, his followers faithfully follow suit despite facing countless challenges along their path. This remarkable artwork from The History of Protestantism by James Aitken Wylie transports us back to a significant era in religious history. It serves as a testament to those who risked everything for their beliefs during times of great adversity. Through this image we glimpse into Farel's extraordinary journey that forever shaped Swiss Protestantism.
