EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking oval-shaped engraving, created by Gerard Edelinck in the late 17th century, depicts the renowned French Jesuit priest and encyclopedist, Louis Moreri. Moreri (1643-1680) was a prolific writer and scholar, best known for his comprehensive "Great Dictionary of the Holy Bible," which was published posthumously in 1680. Moreri's work was significant in its time for its extensive coverage of biblical scholarship and its inclusion of historical and cultural contexts. The image captures Moreri in the prime of his life, with a serious expression and piercing gaze. He is depicted wearing the traditional Jesuit habit, complete with a flowing white robe and a black scapular. The intricately detailed engraving showcases Moreri's distinguished features, from his receding hairline to the prominent veins on his hands. The background is simple, with a plain, textured surface that draws the viewer's focus to Moreri's face. Gerard Edelinck (1640-1707), a Flemish engraver, was a master of his craft. He is known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This print of Moreri is a testament to Edelinck's skill and the enduring legacy of the subjects he immortalized. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical portraits or religious art, and its black and white contrast adds to its timeless appeal. This print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Europe in the 17th century and the important role that figures like Moreri and Edelinck played in shaping our understanding of the world around us.
