EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the distinguished visage of the Reverend Jonathan Shipley (1714-1788), the Churchman and Bishop of St Asaph in Wales. The painting, created during the mid-18th century, showcases Shipley's wisdom and piety, making him an inspiring figure in the annals of Welsh history. Born in the English town of Hull, Shipley was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he excelled academically. His exceptional intellect and deep religious convictions led him to a career in the Anglican Church. In 1757, he was appointed Bishop of St Asaph, a position he held until his death in 1788. During his tenure as Bishop, Shipley was known for his dedication to the welfare of his diocese and his commitment to the education of the clergy. He oversaw the construction of several new churches and schools, ensuring that the people of St Asaph had access to quality religious instruction and community resources. Moreover, Shipley was a prolific writer and scholar, penning numerous theological works and commentaries on the Bible. His most famous publication, "A Discourse on the Nature, End, and Extent of the Atonement," is still studied by scholars today for its insightful exploration of the significance of Christ's sacrifice. This portrait of Bishop Shipley serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as a religious leader, scholar, and advocate for the people of St Asaph. His unwavering commitment to his faith and his community continues to inspire generations, making him an essential figure in the history of Wales and the Anglican Church.
