EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of George Berkeley, an influential Irish philosopher from the 18th century. The image is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in 1830 by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. In this engraving, Berkeley is depicted wearing clerical clothing that reflects his religious background as a priest. His piercing gaze exudes wisdom and intellectual curiosity, capturing the essence of his philosophical pursuits. Berkeley was renowned for his empiricist philosophy which challenged traditional beliefs about perception and reality. He argued that existence depends on being perceived or perceiving others' perceptions – famously stating "to be is to be perceived". This radical concept questioned the nature of material objects and had a profound impact on subsequent philosophical thought. The unknown creator skillfully captures Berkeley's contemplative demeanor through intricate details in this portrait. The fine lines etched into the print bring depth to his facial features while maintaining a sense of simplicity characteristic of 19th-century artistry. This print not only serves as a visual representation of an esteemed philosopher but also offers us a glimpse into the intellectual landscape of 18th-century Britain and Ireland. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation, reminding us of the enduring legacy left behind by great thinkers like George Berkeley.
