EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a haunting moment in history - the burning of Bishops Nicholas Ridley and Hugh Latimer at the stake near the gates of Balliol College, Oxford, England. The date was 16 October 1555, a time when religious reform was met with great persecution. The image is based on an engraving by an unknown artist from the 19th century, inspired by Hayter's painting depicting this gruesome event. It showcases the torment endured by these two Protestant clergymen who were sentenced to death for their beliefs. In this scene frozen in time, we see Ridley and Latimer engulfed in flames as they bravely face their fate. Their martyrdom serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during times of religious turmoil. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully brings this historical moment back to life through his interpretation of Hayter's painting. Through his lens, he captures not only the physical suffering but also conveys the strength and conviction that these men possessed until their last breaths. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a dark chapter in British history where religion clashed violently. This image stands as a testament to those who fought for what they believed in despite facing unimaginable cruelty.
