EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a powerful moment of defiance and unwavering faith. As they were leading him out of the church, Jerome of Prague, a Czech church reformer and follower of Jan Hus, began to sing the sacred hymn "Credo in Unum Deum". The engraving is an illustration from James Aitken Wylie's renowned book, The History of Protestantism. In this scene, we witness the bravery and conviction that led to Jerome's tragic fate. Chained and surrounded by soldiers, he stands as a symbol of resistance against the Roman Catholic Church during the Council of Constance. Despite facing imminent martyrdom for his alleged heresy, Jerome refuses to be silenced. The crowd watches in awe and disbelief as his voice resonates through the air. Spectators are drawn to this extraordinary act of courage amidst such adversity. This image not only commemorates Jerome's sacrifice but also serves as a testament to the enduring spirit behind the Protestant Reformation. Through this artwork, we are reminded that even in times when one's beliefs may lead them down treacherous paths, there are those who will stand firm in their convictions until their last breaths. It is an inspiring portrayal that continues to resonate with audiences today—reminding us all about the power of faith and resilience in challenging times.
