1554 1623 Desk Flemish Jesuit Larmessin Leonard
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the renowned Flemish Jesuit scholar, Leonard Lessius, also known as Lambert Larmessin, in a contemplative moment as he engages in scholarly pursuits. Born in Antwerp in 1554, Lessius joined the Society of Jesus in 1573 and went on to become a distinguished theologian, philosopher, and historian. The image captures Lessius in his study, seated at a well-worn desk, his quill poised above a sheet of paper. A stack of books and parchment rests nearby, evidence of his extensive research and dedication to learning. Lessius wears the traditional Jesuit habit, including the distinctive black robe and white collar, and dons a simple hat, signifying his humility and commitment to the order. The intricately detailed print, with its rich colors and textures, invites us into Lessius's world, transporting us back to the intellectual and spiritual heart of the Jesuit order during the late 16th century. Lessius's legacy as a scholar and teacher continues to be felt today, and this evocative print serves as a testament to his enduring influence and the deep commitment of the Jesuits to the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom.
