EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the scholarly intensity of James Ussher (1581-1656), Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland. Born in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, Ussher studied at Trinity College Dublin before embarking on a distinguished ecclesiastical career. He was appointed Bishop of Meath in 1621, and Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland in 1625. Ussher is best known for his groundbreaking work in biblical chronology, "Annales Veteris et Novi Testamenti," published in 1650. Using the genealogies in the Old Testament and the birth and death dates of key figures in the New Testament, Ussher calculated the creation of the world to have occurred on October 23, 4004 BC. This controversial theory, which challenged the prevailing scholarly consensus, remained influential for centuries. Despite his scholarly pursuits, Ussher was also a political figure, serving as Lord Chancellor of Ireland from 1629 to 1632. He played a role in the controversial Plantation of Ulster, which aimed to colonize Ulster with Protestant settlers. Ussher's involvement in this project led to his exile from Ireland in 1642. This portrait, likely painted during Ussher's tenure as Archbishop of Armagh, depicts him in his ecclesiastical robes, holding a book and gazing intently at it. The somber background and serious expression convey a sense of deep concentration and intellectual rigor. Ussher's legacy as a scholar and religious leader continues to be felt in Ireland and beyond, making this portrait a valuable historical artifact.
