Summary

Description
English: "Late 19th century martyrdom scene titled to the frame The Blessed Sir Adrian Fortescue Knight of the Bath, Knight of St John of Malta (1476-1539). Key to its appeal is the inscription to the back of the canvas G Cali Malta."


"Adrian Fortescue, a courtier to Henry VIII who was executed without trial for his opposition to the English Reformation, is a subject of particular resonance to the Maltese. In 1532, seven years before he was beheaded at Tower Hill, he had become a Knight of the Order of St John – the rulers of Malta from 1530 to 1798). The Order has advocated devotion to ‘Blessed Adrian’ as a Catholic martyr since the 17th century."
