1575 1624 1744 Jakob Moustache Mystic Oval Philips Bohme
EDITORS COMMENTS
This oval print depicts the enigmatic figure of Jakob Bohme (1575-1624), a German mystic and philosopher whose ideas continue to intrigue scholars and spiritual seekers alike. Born in Gorlitz, Silesia, Bohme was a shoemaker by trade but is best known for his profound and influential philosophical and theological writings. His works, which drew from various sources including the Bible, alchemy, and Kabbalah, explored the nature of God, the universe, and the human condition. Bohme's distinctive appearance is on full display in this image, with his long white beard and moustache framing his serious, introspective expression. He is shown wearing a simple white collar, a common attire for the time, which further emphasizes his humble origins. The print, produced in 1744, is a testament to the enduring interest in Bohme's thought and the continued relevance of his ideas long after his death. Bohme's philosophy, which emphasized the dynamic interplay between the divine and the material world, was a precursor to the Romantic movement and influenced thinkers such as Friedrich Nietzsche and Martin Heidegger. His ideas also had a significant impact on the development of the Romantic and Transcendentalist movements in America. This print invites us to delve deeper into the rich and complex world of this fascinating figure and to explore the enduring legacy of his ideas.
