EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of Robert Estienne" transports us back to the 16th century. The image showcases a distinguished man with an air of intellect and wisdom. Robert Estienne, also known as Robertus Stephanus, was not only a printer but also a renowned classical scholar in Paris during this era. The portrait captures Estienne's striking features: his neatly trimmed beard and his eyes filled with knowledge and curiosity. He wears an elegant hat that adds to his scholarly appearance. This print is part of the private collection and was published in "Les Vrais Pourtraits des Hommes Illustres". Estienne's contribution to the world of printing is significant; he was the first person to divide the Bible into standard numbered verses, revolutionizing biblical study for generations to come. His work played a crucial role in disseminating knowledge during a time when books were scarce commodities. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we are reminded of Estienne's dedication to scholarship and his impact on printing history. It serves as both a testament to his accomplishments and an homage to the intellectual giants who shaped our understanding of literature and religion centuries ago.
