Jack Leigh Wardleworth (British, 1863-1925), "The Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, at the Traitor's Gate", oil on canvas, after the 1856 painting by Frederick Goodall (1822-1904), now in a private collection, signed lower left, "Winsor and Newton/London" stamp en verso canvas, 20" x 30". Framed. Cranmer (1489-1556) was the Archbishop of Canterbury during the reigns of Henry VIII and Edward VI, and was one of the leaders of the English Reformation. An outspoken and active religious leader, he strongly supported the notion of Royal Supremacy, the idea of the head of state as the sovereign leader of the church. After the accession of the ardent Catholic Mary I to the throne, Cranmer was tried, convicted and condemned to death by burning for heresy.
