EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Marco Antonio de Dominis, a Dalmatian ecclesiastic who lived from 1560 to 1624. The creator of this intriguing image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to Dominis' story. In his lifetime, he held the esteemed position of Catholic archbishop but was later adjudged a heretic for his daring attacks on the papacy. Despite losing friends due to their avarice, Dominis was also known as a man of science. He made significant contributions by being the first to develop the theory of the rainbow—an accomplishment that earned him recognition in various fields. The portrait showcases Dominis with his distinguished bearded face and traditional clothing, reflecting both his religious role and intellectual pursuits. This engraving is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into the life and achievements of Marco Antonio de Dominis—a complex individual whose legacy encompasses religion, science, and controversy. It serves as a reminder that even those who challenge established beliefs can leave an indelible mark on history.
