In our continuing survey of art about prophets in the Sacred Art Pilgrim Collection, we travel this week from biblical times to the Christian era to view a contemporary print of a 12th century English saint and speaker of truth to power, who was murdered for defending the rights of the church in a standoff with secular authority. Thomas Becket was Lord Chancellor and a close confidant of King Henry II, when the English monarch appointed him Archbishop of Canterbury in hope of extending royal influence over the Roman Catholic Church. Far from carrying out Henry's political agenda, Becket opposed his erstwhile ally at every turn. Becket was slain by Henry's henchmen during vespers at Canterbury Cathedral in 1170 in an act of political terrorism that scandalized medieval Europe and still resonates to this day. Sister Mary Corita Kent, the American artist-nun famed for her graphic artworks incorporating elements of pop-culture, depicts the momentous murder in the Cathedral in this silkscreen print from the 1950s now on view in the gallery of her profile page.
