1675 1747 Antiquarian Divine Lewis
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the scholarly and pious countenance of John Lewis (1675-1747), an English antiquarian and divine. The image, created in the mid-18th century, offers a glimpse into the life of a man deeply devoted to both the study of history and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. John Lewis was born in London, where he received his education at Westminster School and later at Trinity College, Cambridge. He became a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1704, and his passion for history led him to amass an extensive collection of ancient manuscripts, coins, and other artifacts. His extensive knowledge and expertise in antiquities earned him the respect and admiration of his peers, and he was often consulted by scholars and collectors seeking advice on historical matters. Lewis's spiritual side was equally important to him, and he was ordained as a priest in the Church of England in 1711. He served as a chaplain to various noble families and held several ecclesiastical positions throughout his life. His publications, which included works on history, antiquities, and theology, further cemented his reputation as a respected scholar and religious leader. This portrait, with its intricately detailed clothing and somber expression, conveys the serious and contemplative nature of John Lewis. The background, adorned with books and ancient artifacts, underscores his dual passions for history and the divine. The image serves as a testament to the rich intellectual and spiritual legacy of this remarkable man, whose contributions to the fields of antiquarianism and theology continue to be celebrated and studied today.
