EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable gouache painting of John Bunyan as a soldier, created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century. The image portrays Bunyan, renowned for his literary masterpiece "The Pilgrim's Progress" in a completely different light - as a valiant soldier. In this artwork, we see Bunyan dressed in military attire, holding a musket firmly in his hands. His resolute gaze and determined expression reflect the strength and courage that characterized both his fictional characters and his own life journey. As one of history's most influential Christian writers, it is intriguing to witness him depicted outside the realm of spirituality. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork bring this scene to life, capturing the essence of soldiers during that era. The attention to detail is evident not only in Bunyan's uniform but also in the surrounding troops who stand alongside him. This print serves as a powerful reminder of how individuals can embody various roles throughout their lives. It prompts us to contemplate Bunyan's multifaceted identity beyond his religious contributions - highlighting his involvement with armed forces. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this extraordinary piece from Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history while appreciating the artistic talent behind its creation.
