This print captures a historic moment in the bustling market-place of Neuchatel. The image, taken from James Aitken Wylie's renowned book "The History of Protestantism" showcases the influential French evangelist William Farel preaching to a diverse crowd during the 16th century. Farel, one of the founders of the Reformed Church in Switzerland, stands at the center of attention as he passionately delivers his sermon. His powerful oratory skills draw in an array of spectators who eagerly listen to his words. The scene is filled with anticipation and curiosity as people from all walks of life gather around to witness this pivotal moment in religious history. The engraving beautifully portrays Farel's dedication to spreading Protestantism throughout Switzerland. With a Bible held firmly in hand, he fearlessly challenges traditional beliefs and calls for reform within society.
