EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of Arthur Johnston, a renowned Scottish physician and Latin poet who lived from 1587 to 1641. Created by George Jamesone, a talented artist of the time, this print showcases Johnston's intellectual prowess and distinguished presence. As we delve into the details of this portrait, we are transported back in time to Scotland during the late 16th century. Johnston's piercing gaze reveals his deep knowledge and understanding of medicine as he served as Physician to King Charles I of England. His contributions extended beyond healing bodies; he was also an accomplished translator, rendering Solomon's Song and Psalms into Latin. The intricate lines etched onto copperplate bring out every contour on Johnston's face, emphasizing his wisdom and experience. The artist masterfully captures both his scientific mind and poetic soul in one image. This engraving is part of John Smith's Iconographia Scotica collection, which sought to immortalize illustrious figures from Scottish history. Preserved within a private collection today, it serves as a testament to Johnston's enduring legacy. Through this artwork, we can appreciate not only the brilliance of Arthur Johnston but also gain insight into the rich cultural heritage that Scotland has contributed to Europe throughout history.
