EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Saint John Fisher, an influential figure in English Catholic history. The portrait, created by renowned artist Hans Holbein the Younger in 1748, showcases Fisher's dignified presence and unwavering devotion to his faith. Saint John Fisher was a prominent bishop, cardinal, and martyr who fearlessly opposed King Henry VIII's controversial decision to divorce Catherine of Aragon. His courageous stand against the king ultimately led to his imprisonment in the Tower of London. In May 1535, Fisher faced accusations of treason for refusing to acknowledge Henry as the head of the church. Despite immense pressure and threats to his life, he remained steadfast in his beliefs until his tragic beheading on June 25th that same year. Fisher's unwavering commitment earned him sainthood when he was canonized in 1935. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of his sacrifice and enduring legacy within Christianity. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this eighteenth-century artwork while emphasizing Fisher's solemnity and dedication. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back through time into an era marked by religious turmoil and profound conviction. This print is not only a visual masterpiece but also a testament to one man's unyielding faith amidst political upheaval. It stands as a tribute to Saint John Fisher's remarkable journey as well as an emblematic representation of England's rich religious heritage during the sixteenth century.
