EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Ken Welsh, we are transported back to the year 1527 as we gaze upon the enigmatic figure of John Lesley, also known as Leslie. This portrait captures the essence of a man deeply rooted in Scottish history and religious fervor. John Lesley was not only a prominent Roman Catholic Bishop but also an esteemed historian hailing from Ross. His scholarly pursuits during the 16th century left an indelible mark on Scotland's historical narrative. As we delve into his life through this portrait, it becomes evident that he possessed an air of wisdom and intellectual prowess. The artist skillfully brings out every intricate detail in Lesley's countenance - his piercing eyes seem to hold centuries' worth of knowledge, while his furrowed brow suggests a deep contemplation about matters both spiritual and temporal. This image serves as a testament to Ken Welsh's ability to capture not just physical attributes but also the essence of his subjects. Through careful lighting and composition, he has breathed life into this historical figure once more. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us reflect on John Lesley's contributions to academia and religion during a time when beliefs were fiercely contested. May it inspire us to explore our own histories with equal curiosity and dedication.
