EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Synesius" transports us back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of illustrious men from that era. The print showcases Synesius, a Greek bishop hailing from Ptolemais in the Libyan Pentapolis. Created by Andre Thevet and engraved by Thomas Campanella De Laumessin, this piece is part of a larger collection called "Portraits and Lives of Illustrious Men". In this half-length portrait, Synesius stands proudly adorned in his clerical robes. His expression exudes wisdom and serenity as he gazes directly at the viewer. The intricate details captured by the engraver bring out every fold and texture of his garments, reflecting the fashion trends prevalent during that time. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this engraving also serves as a testament to Christianity's influence on society during this period. It symbolizes not only religious devotion but also Christian values that shaped individuals like Synesius. The inclusion of this artwork in private collections speaks to its historical significance and artistic merit. As we admire this print today, we are reminded of how art can bridge gaps between centuries and cultures while preserving moments from our collective past.
