EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we are transported back to the year 1738, where we find Richard Pococke adorned in an exquisite oriental costume. The artist, Jean-Etienne Liotard, masterfully captures Pococke's sense of curiosity and adventure through his confident gaze and relaxed posture. Pococke, a renowned English clergyman and traveler, was known for his extensive journeys throughout the Middle East. This particular image showcases his deep fascination with Eastern cultures and their traditional attire. Liotard skillfully portrays every intricate detail of Pococke's costume - from the vibrant colors to the delicate embroidery - allowing us to appreciate both its beauty and cultural significance. The choice of oriental dress not only reflects Pococke's personal interests but also serves as a testament to the growing fascination with exoticism during that era. As Europe began expanding its global reach through trade routes and colonial ventures, there arose a heightened interest in exploring foreign lands and embracing their customs. Displayed at Musee d'Art et d'Histoire in Geneva, Switzerland, this print offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating both artistic talent and cultural exploration. It reminds us of our shared human desire to discover new horizons beyond our own familiar surroundings. Through this remarkable portrayal by Liotard, Richard Pococke becomes more than just a subject; he becomes an embodiment of curiosity itself - an inspiration for all those who seek knowledge about other cultures and strive to bridge divides between
