EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of Saint John Fisher, an influential English Roman Catholic prelate and martyr. The engraving, skillfully crafted by Hans Holbein the Younger based on his own drawing, beautifully captures the essence of this revered historical figure. Saint John Fisher lived during the 15th and 16th centuries, a time marked by religious upheaval and societal change. As Bishop of Rochester in England, he fearlessly defended Catholicism amidst growing tensions within the Church. His unwavering dedication to his faith ultimately led to his martyrdom. Holbein's intricate engraving highlights Fisher's noble countenance and dignified presence. The artist masterfully conveys both strength and vulnerability in this portrait, capturing the essence of a man who stood firm in his beliefs despite facing immense opposition. The image transports us back to Renaissance-era England, offering a glimpse into a turbulent period characterized by intellectual curiosity and spiritual fervor. It serves as a powerful reminder of those who sacrificed their lives for their convictions during this transformative era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection's archives, we are reminded not only of Saint John Fisher's significant contributions but also of Holbein's artistic genius that immortalized him for generations to come.
