EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Wyckliffe on his sick bed assailed by the Friars" takes us back to Oxford in 1378. The English School of the 19th century beautifully captures this historic moment, depicting John Wycliffe, also known as Wyckliffe, lying weak and vulnerable on his sick bed. Surrounding him are a group of menacing friars who appear to be engaging in an intense debate or argument with the influential theologian. The artist skillfully portrays the contrast between Wycliffe's frailty and the fervor of his opponents. Despite his physical condition, it is evident that Wyckliffe remains resolute and undeterred in defending his beliefs against those who oppose him. This powerful image offers a glimpse into a pivotal period in history when religious ideas were fiercely debated and challenged. It serves as a reminder of Wycliffe's significant contributions to theology and philosophy during the time of great upheaval within the Catholic Church. Originally featured in "The Comprehensive History of England" published by Gresham Publishing in 1902, this engraving continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and emotive portrayal. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection today, we are transported back centuries ago, witnessing an important chapter unfold before our eyes.
