EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage hand-colored woodcut print captures the essence of danger and controversy during the 16th century Protestant Reformation. Titled "Dragon of Heresy" this illustration is a reproduction from Guidius' "Dialogy" printed in Switzerland in 1521. The artist skillfully depicts a monstrous dragon, symbolizing religious heresy, looming over a terrified monk. This cartoon-like portrayal serves as a powerful caricature, highlighting the persecution faced by those who challenged established religious beliefs. The image reflects the radical ideas propagated by Martin Luther and John Calvin during this transformative period in European history. It represents the fear and prejudice that surrounded individuals labeled as heretics or radicals within their respective communities. The clergy, including figures like Calvin himself, are depicted as being under threat from these perceived threats to religious orthodoxy. As an artifact of counter-reformation propaganda, this artwork provides valuable insight into both the historical context and prevailing attitudes towards religion at that time. Its intricate details and vibrant colors make it an exceptional piece of art that continues to captivate viewers centuries later
