EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Roger Williams in the Wilderness" takes us back to colonial America, specifically the 17th century. The image showcases a bleak winter landscape, with snow-covered woods stretching as far as the eye can see. In this solitary scene, we find Roger Williams seated on a log, his weary traveler's gaze fixed ahead. Williams was an English Protestant theologian and co-founder of Providence, Rhode Island. However, due to his dissenting beliefs and clashes with the Massachusetts General Court in 1635, he found himself exiled from his former community. This illustration captures a moment of respite for Williams during his time in the wilderness. The color lithograph beautifully brings out the starkness of winter against Williams' figure. His presence is both stoic and contemplative amidst nature's harsh elements. As we look at this portrait-like depiction of him resting momentarily in solitude, it evokes a sense of resilience and determination. This artwork not only serves as a historical record but also invites us to reflect on themes such as exile, endurance, and personal conviction that are still relevant today. It reminds us of those who have braved unfamiliar territories for their beliefs or sought solace within themselves while facing adversity. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution by Peter Newark American Pictures through Bridgeman Images' collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into America's past while contemplating timeless human experiences.
