EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Portrait of Roberto de Nobili (1577-1656)" by the French School in the 17th century. The portrait depicts Roberto de Nobili, an Italian Jesuit missionary who dedicated his life to spreading Christianity in India. Known for his remarkable efforts, he translated Christian writings into Sanskrit and embraced Hindu customs as a means to connect with the local population. In this image, we see a distinguished figure dressed in priestly attire, holding an axe and a bottle symbolizing his commitment to both spiritual and physical well-being. Roberto de Nobili's adoption of Hindu customs is evident through his respectful integration of traditional Brahmin clothing and accessories. As one of the pioneering figures in interfaith dialogue, De Nobili's mission was not without controversy. His approach challenged conventional norms within religious orders but ultimately paved the way for greater understanding between different faiths. This print captures not only De Nobili's devotion to his calling but also serves as a reminder of the power that lies within embracing diversity and finding common ground among diverse cultures and religions. It stands as a testament to De Nobili's unwavering dedication towards fostering harmony amidst religious differences during a time when such endeavors were rare. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this vibrant lithograph immortalizes Roberto de Nobili's legacy as an influential figure bridging two worlds together through faith and compassion.
