EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Heinrich Bullinger, a prominent Swiss religious reformer from the 16th century. The image is a wood engraving created in 1571, based on a painting on glass. Bullinger is depicted wearing an elegant coat and hat, with a distinguished beard framing his face. His attire reflects the fashion of the time, featuring a high collar and fur accents. Bullinger played a significant role in the Swiss Reformation movement, which aimed to challenge and reform certain practices within the Catholic Church. As one of its key figures, he advocated for greater emphasis on biblical teachings and individual faith rather than relying solely on church hierarchy. The wood engraving beautifully captures Bullinger's intellectual presence and determination as he gazes into the distance. It serves as a reminder of his influential contributions to religious thought during this transformative period in history. This print by The Granger Collection offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Switzerland's rich cultural heritage while also appreciating the artistic craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate engravings. Whether displayed at home or in educational settings, it invites contemplation about historical figures who have shaped our world through their ideas and actions.
