This portrait, titled "Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc, 1827" captures the essence of a renowned figure in both astronomy and antiquarianism. Painted by T. S. White, this oil on panel print measures 22.5x18 cm and is housed at Magdalen College in Oxford, UK. The subject of the painting, Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc, was a prominent French astronomer and antiquary who lived from 1580 to 1637. Known for his significant contributions to the field of astronomy, Peiresc's intellectual pursuits extended beyond celestial observations. His passion for ancient artifacts and knowledge led him to become an esteemed antiquarian as well. This particular artwork is based on an original piece by Anthony van Dyck, a renowned Flemish painter from the same era as Peiresc. The half-length portrait showcases Peiresc's dignified presence with intricate details that bring his character to life. In this image, we see a man deeply engrossed in books - symbols of knowledge and wisdom - reflecting his insatiable thirst for understanding the world around him. Through this painting, we are transported back in time to witness the brilliance and curiosity that defined Peiresc's legacy.
