1324 1384 Depicted Lutterworth Paralysed Reformer Stricken Theologian Translator Wyclif Paralysis

EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative image captures the final years of John Wyclif's life, the influential religious reformer, translator, and theologian, who is depicted here stricken by paralysis in his church at Lutterworth. Born in Suffolk around 1328, Wyclif studied at Oxford University, where he became a professor of theology. His radical ideas, which challenged the authority of the Church and advocated for the translation of the Bible into the vernacular language, earned him both admirers and enemies. By the late 14th century, Wyclif's health began to fail, and he retired to his native village of Lutterworth. It was here, in the quiet sanctuary of his church, that he continued his work, surrounded by a devoted following. The scene depicted in this print is believed to represent Wyclif's final days, as he lies helpless in his chair, his face etched with the deep lines of age and suffering. Despite his debilitating condition, Wyclif's spirit remained undimmed. He continued to write and teach, and his followers, known as the Lollards, carried on his work after his death in 1384. This print serves as a poignant reminder of Wyclif's enduring legacy, and the indomitable power of the human spirit in the face of adversity." This image is a powerful representation of the final years of John Wyclif's life, a man whose ideas and work would shape the course of religious history. The image captures the quiet dignity of Wyclif as he faces the challenges of his final days, surrounded by the sanctuary of his church at Lutterworth. The print offers a glimpse into the life of a man who defied the conventions of his time, and whose influence continues to be felt to this day.
