"Under the Oak of the Reformation" is a historical painting by Samuel Wale, an 18th-century English artist known for his historical and decorative works. The painting depicts a significant moment in the life of Robert Kett (1492–1549), a Norfolk landowner who led a rebellion in 1549 known as Kett's Rebellion. The rebellion was part of the widespread social unrest that took place during the reign of King Edward VI, largely in response to the enclosure of common land.

In the painting, Robert Kett is portrayed under the eponymous oak tree, which came to be known as the "Oak of Reformation." This tree was a symbolically important location during the rebellion, as it was the site where Kett and his followers held their court and administered their version of justice against the landowners who had enclosed common lands. The oak thus represents a makeshift tribunal under which Kett attempted to redress the grievances of the common people.

Samuel Wale's depiction of this historical event is significant as it captures the spirit of the age and the tensions between the landed gentry and the commoners. The painting serves as a visual representation of the struggle for social justice and the fight against the economic changes that were perceived to benefit the wealthy at the expense of the poor.

The painting is an important work for those studying the period of the English Reformation and the social upheavals that accompanied it. As an artist, Samuel Wale was a founding member of the Royal Academy and his works often reflected his interest in English history and the moral lessons that could be drawn from it. "Under the Oak of the Reformation" is a testament to Wale's ability to convey historical narrative through art and provides a window into the tumultuous period of the mid-16th century in England.
