EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned John Colet, Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, in all his intellectual glory. Created in 1812 by Holbein the Younger and engraved by E. Bocquet, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving captures the essence of a man who left an indelible mark on history. John Colet was not only a clergyman but also a scholar and close friend of Erasmus. As the founder of St. Paul's School, he played a pivotal role in shaping education during his time. This portrait depicts him as a figurehead of knowledge and wisdom. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing out Colet's features with remarkable precision. The pink paper adds an element of uniqueness to this piece from Imitations of Original Drawings by Hans Holbein. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to the Renaissance era when Colet lived and thrived amidst religious fervor and intellectual pursuits. His contribution to both Catholicism and Christianity cannot be overstated. This print serves as a testament to Colet's enduring legacy as well as an homage to Holbein's artistic prowess. It reminds us that even centuries later, individuals like John Colet continue to inspire us with their dedication to scholarship and their unwavering pursuit of knowledge.
