The big one that came to mind isn't that much of a persecution. Michelangelo. He was often harassed because he painted naked figures when a woman seeing a man unclothed was a huge no-no, never mind the public seeing a man in his full glory, no matter how well painted/ sculpted. he also got into a lot of slack from the church for his portrayal of Mary Holding the dead Christ. Folks said Mary looked like his daughter and her legs were too long.
The Visionaries I thought of include Ghandi ( Hunted and persecuted for his very peaceful ideals) and Martin Luther King for his views on Blacks and freedom.
