EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the esteemed figure of John Rainolds, a prominent scholar and translator during the Tudor era. Painted by an anonymous English artist in the 17th century, this oil on panel artwork captures Rainolds' intellectual prowess and profound contribution to biblical studies. As President of Corpus Christi College in Oxford, Rainolds played a pivotal role in co-editing the Authorised Version of the Bible. His meticulous translation work ensured that future generations could access and understand the sacred text with clarity and accuracy. The painting portrays Rainolds as a distinguished gentleman with a flowing beard, symbolizing wisdom and maturity. His scholarly presence is further emphasized by his attire - donning an elaborate ruff collar that was fashionable during this period. Notably, this image also alludes to Rainolds' involvement in significant historical events such as the Hampton Court Conference. This conference brought together influential religious figures to discuss matters related to church reform under King James I's reign. Preserved within Corpus Christi College at Oxford University, this remarkable piece serves as both a testament to Rainold's legacy and an embodiment of his dedication to biblical scholarship. Through its intricate details and masterful brushwork, it invites viewers into a world where intellect meets artistry - reminding us of our enduring fascination with history's great minds.
