1584 Alexandria Bishop Cyril Pointing Thevet Upwards
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Saint Cyril of Alexandria, one of the most influential early Christian theologians and bishops of the ancient city of Alexandria, Egypt. Saint Cyril, born in 376 AD, played a pivotal role in the Christological controversies of the 5th century, advocating for the supremacy of the term 'homoousios' or 'of one substance' in describing the relationship between the Father and the Son. In this image, Saint Cyril is depicted in his bishop's attire, with an air of authority and wisdom. He is shown pointing upwards, possibly signifying his connection to the divine or his role as a spiritual guide leading his flock towards salvation. The long, flowing beard typical of the era adds to the image's historical authenticity. The print dates back to 1584, a time when Europe was deeply rooted in the Renaissance period, and the study and preservation of classical knowledge, including the history of Christianity, were of great importance. The print was likely produced by the French cartographer and scholar, Andre Thevet, who is known for his extensive work on the history and geography of the New World. Saint Cyril's legacy extends beyond the confines of Alexandria, as his teachings have had a profound impact on the development of Christian doctrine and theology. His influence can still be felt in the Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Anglican traditions, making him a significant figure in the history of Christianity as a whole. This print serves as a testament to the enduring importance of Saint Cyril's contributions to the faith and the richness of the historical record.
