EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Portrait of Athanasius Kircher, German scholar, aged 62". Created by the talented German School in the 17th century, this engraving captures the essence of a man deeply immersed in knowledge and wisdom. With his bust prominently displayed, Kircher's head and shoulders are depicted with great detail and precision. His long beard adds an air of authority to his scholarly appearance. Surrounded by an impressive array of bookshelves filled with volumes on various subjects such as egyptology, geology, magnetism, and more, it is evident that he was a true polymath. As a professor and mathematician belonging to the Jesuit order, Kircher's contributions to science were vast. This portrait beautifully portrays him as both teacher and student; someone who dedicated his life to expanding human understanding through research and exploration. The photograph also highlights other elements that define Kircher's character: his passion for optics, medicine, philosophy - all encompassed within one brilliant mind. The inclusion of a megaphone symbolizes his desire to amplify knowledge beyond traditional boundaries. Displayed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France today – this image serves as a testament to Kircher's enduring legacy. It immortalizes not only his physical appearance but also pays homage to his immense intellectual achievements. In conclusion, this stunning portrait offers viewers a glimpse into the world of Athanasius Kircher – an extraordinary scholar whose thirst for knowledge knew no
