EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white illustration captures the essence of Roger Bacon, a renowned English philosopher and Franciscan friar. Created by the talented American artist and illustrator Gordon Ross, this pencil drawing is part of the Living Biographies of Famous Men collection. Roger Bacon, also known as Doctor Mirabilis, lived during the 13th century (c. ?1219/20 - c. ?1292) and made significant contributions to natural philosophy and science. In this fine art portrait, he is depicted in a front view pose, looking away with an air of contemplation. The detailed lines and shading bring out the wisdom etched on his face as he delved into theological matters alongside his scientific pursuits. As one of history's senior men in academia, Bacon's work bridged the gap between faith and reason. With his distinctive Franciscan attire denoting his religious affiliation, Bacon stands as a symbol of intellectual curiosity within medieval England. This historical image offers us a glimpse into the life of an influential thinker whose ideas continue to shape our understanding today. Ken Welsh's archival print allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill behind this illustration and its historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we can still be inspired by those who dedicated their lives to expanding knowledge in pursuit of truth.
