John Kurde stands chained to a stake amidst burning faggots. He is fully clothed and has both arms flailing about him. He is surrounded by a crowd of soldiers who observe the martyrdom. The soldier standing to the right of Kurde seems to be gesturing something by pointing his finger toward the right of the image. Another soldier stands at the forefront of the image and appears to be keeping a sympathetic man and woman at bay, who seem to be pleading for Kurde’s life. In earlier editions this martyrdom is illustrated by Luborsky and Ingram 11223/14, which appears multiple times in the second (1570), third (1576), and fourth (1583) early English editions. It appears here apparently as a new design, with faint hints at the original. JPEG file (1.28 MB).
