1720 1766 Auto Graph Churchman Jonathan Mayhew
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of Reverend Jonathan Mayhew (1720-1766), an influential American churchman and theologian of the colonial era. The image, dated undetermined but believed to be from the mid-18th century, captures Mayhew's intellectual and spiritual authority. He is depicted in formal attire, with a serious yet compassionate expression, suggesting the depth of his wisdom and dedication to his faith. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Mayhew was a prominent figure in the Puritan tradition, serving as the pastor of the West Church in Boston from 1755 until his death. He was known for his provocative sermons, which addressed contemporary social issues and challenged the status quo. One of his most famous sermons, "Discourse Concerning Unlimited Submission and Non-Resistance to the Higher Powers," argued for the separation of church and state and the right to resist unjust authority. Mayhew's influence extended beyond the pulpit. He was a mentor to many of the founding fathers, including Paul Revere, John Hancock, and Samuel Adams. His ideas contributed to the intellectual foundation of the American Revolution and the development of democratic thought in the United States. This print is a testament to Mayhew's enduring impact on American history and theological thought. The autograph inscription below the image, although the exact provenance is unknown, adds an intriguing layer of history and authenticity to the piece. The print serves as a reminder of the vital role that religious leaders played in shaping the cultural and intellectual landscape of colonial America.
