EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Lefevre lecturing at the Sorbonne" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Illustrated from James Aitken Wylie's renowned book, "The History of Protestantism" this engraving showcases an English School's artistic brilliance from the 19th century. In this remarkable image, we witness Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples, a prominent French theologian and humanist, delivering a lecture at the esteemed Sorbonne. As one of the key figures during the Protestant Reformation, Lefèvre challenged traditional Roman Catholic beliefs and advocated for reform within the church. His intellectual prowess shines through as he engages his audience with profound insights into theology and humanism. The illustration captures not only his commanding presence but also highlights his role as a priest and theologian amidst religious turmoil. This historical snapshot transports us to the 16th century when religious orders held immense power over society. Lefèvre's courage to question established norms made him both revered by some as a reformer and condemned by others as a heretic. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, we are reminded of how individuals like Lefèvre shaped our understanding of religion and paved the way for future generations to challenge authority in pursuit of truth.
