EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Lord Herbert of Cherbury, a remarkable figure from 17th century Britain. Edward Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Cherbury was not only a soldier and diplomat but also a poet, historian, and religious philosopher. His contributions to literature include a comprehensive history of Henry VIII's reign and his major philosophical work called De Veritate, which delves into the nature of Truth. In this portrait, Lord Herbert exudes wisdom and intellect with his bearded countenance. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to the image, emphasizing the significance of his ideas even in modern times. As we gaze at him through the lens of Isaac Oliver I's camera, we are transported back to an era when religion played a central role in society. Lord Herbert was known for his religious philosophy called Deism—a concept that challenged traditional Christian beliefs by advocating for reason over blind faith. This portrait serves as a visual representation of his profound impact on religious thought during the Jacobean period. Displayed proudly at London's National Portrait Gallery, this print is part of Ideas—a volume dedicated to exploring the origins and early history of various subjects. It reminds us that Lord Herbert's legacy extends beyond one discipline; he was truly a Renaissance man who left an indelible mark on British culture and intellectual discourse.
