EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rubbing from a brass engraving of Confucius, created by an English School in the 19th century. The image is part of a private collection and was featured as an illustration for "Primitive Religions" by G T Battany in 1891. The portrait on brass captures the essence of Confucius, one of the most influential figures in Chinese history and philosophy. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to ancient times, where nations and religions were still taking shape. The use of rubbing technique adds depth and texture to the engraving, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail etched onto the brass surface. It serves as a reminder that even in primitive societies, art played a significant role in documenting cultural heritage. Confucius' portrait stands as a symbol of wisdom and enlightenment amidst an uncivilized world. In this comparative study between different religions and belief systems, it becomes evident that his teachings transcended beyond Christianity or any specific faith. Through this photo print, Bridgeman Images invites us to explore the rich tapestry of human spirituality throughout history. It encourages us to reflect on our own beliefs while appreciating the diversity found within various cultures worldwide.
