EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the distinguished figure of Usher, Archbishop of Armagh, in all his regal glory. Created by the talented artist Jacobus Houbraken and published by Knapton in London back in 1742, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of Archbishop Usher's character and accomplishments. James Ussher, known for his role as Primate of All Ireland and Archbishop of Armagh, was not only a prominent clergyman but also a renowned scholar. His notable publication on chronology aimed to establish precise dates for significant historical events including the creation itself. In this oval-shaped depiction, Archbishop Usher is portrayed with utmost reverence and authority. Clad in an elegant bishop's attire complete with a ruff collar, he exudes wisdom and intellect. The intricate details within the print highlight his scholarly nature - surrounded by books that symbolize his vast knowledge. The coat of arms displayed prominently adds to the grandeur of this portrait while emphasizing Usher's affiliation with both Church of Ireland and Irish heritage. This artwork serves as a testament to his influential position within society during the 16th and 17th centuries. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history - capturing not just an individual but also an era defined by religious fervor and intellectual pursuits.
