EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 17th century image, renowned Jesuit scholar Leonard Lessius pauses in deep contemplation as his portrait is being painted by the skilled artist Jean Larmessin. The year is circa 1620, and Lessius, with a quill poised in mid-air, has momentarily suspended his tireless writing to submit to the artistic process. Lessius, a man of profound intellect and unwavering dedication to the pursuit of knowledge, was a prominent figure in the world of communications during this era. A prolific writer, he authored numerous works on various subjects, including mathematics, astronomy, and theology. His scholarly contributions were highly regarded, and he was revered by his peers and the wider academic community. Larmessin, a master of his craft, expertly captures the essence of Lessius' intellectual prowess and spiritual depth in this portrait. The scholar's intense gaze, furrowed brow, and the quill suspended in mid-air all serve to underscore his unwavering commitment to the written word and the exchange of ideas. The setting of the portrait further emphasizes the significance of the written word during this period. The room is filled with books, their spines worn from frequent use, and a large desk cluttered with papers and writing instruments. The presence of these symbols of knowledge and communication underscores the importance of the written word in the dissemination and preservation of ideas during the 17th century. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the world of 17th century scholarship and the deep connection between the written word, intellectual pursuit, and artistic expression. It serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of the written word to inspire, inform, and connect people across time and space.
