EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century showcases a remarkable portrait of Athanasius Kircher, an influential figure in history. Kircher, born in 1601 and passing away in 1680, was not only a Jesuit but also an Orientalist and German scholar. The unknown artist behind this masterpiece has beautifully captured his essence. The intricacies of the engraving highlight Kircher's learned nature and deep devotion to his religious order. His piercing gaze reflects wisdom beyond his years, while his composed expression exudes tranquility and introspection. It is evident that he dedicated himself to expanding knowledge during a time when information was scarce. Kircher's contributions to various fields are immeasurable; he delved into subjects ranging from archaeology to linguistics, always seeking new understandings of the world around him. This print serves as a testament to his intellectual prowess and unwavering dedication. Preserved within a private collection, this artwork allows us to admire Kircher's legacy centuries after his passing. Giancarlo Costa has graciously shared this image with us, ensuring that it remains accessible for all who appreciate art and history alike. As we observe this engraving, we cannot help but feel inspired by Athanasius Kircher's insatiable thirst for knowledge and boundless curiosity about the mysteries of life itself.
