EDITORS COMMENTS
This Thesis-Sheet, created by German artist Elias Christoph Heiss in the late 17th century, showcases a striking depiction of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. The image, dated November 15, 1696, portrays the founder of the Society of Jesus with a serious and contemplative expression, his head and shoulders adorned with cherubs and cherubim. The black burnished background adds a sense of depth and contrast, making the saint's white cloth and Latin text stand out. The Latin text surrounding Saint Ignatius reads "Inigo Loyola de Onaz y Loyola," translating to "Iñigo Loyola of Onaz and Loyola," the full name of the Spanish saint. The text also includes the date of creation and the names of the engravers, Johann Andreas Wolf and Elias Christoph Heiss. This Thesis-Sheet, a type of engraved drawing, was likely used as a study or teaching tool in the context of a German art academy or institution. The image of Saint Ignatius, with his hands in prayer and his gaze fixed on the heavens, conveys the deep spirituality and devotion that characterized the life and legacy of this influential Christian figure. The Thesis-Sheet is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the 17th century, and serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of Saint Ignatius of Loyola on the history of Christianity and the arts.
