EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of Benito Arias Montano, a prominent figure in Spanish history. The image, captured by acclaimed photographer Ken Welsh, beautifully captures the essence of this influential man. Benito Arias Montano, also known as Benedictus Arias Montanus, was a distinguished Spanish orientalist and editor of the Antwerp Polyglot. His contributions to academia and literature during the 16th century were immense. This portrait is based on an engraving by Philips Galle, a renowned engraver of that era. The intensity in Montano's gaze reflects his intellectual prowess and deep understanding of various subjects. As an editor, he played a significant role in shaping knowledge through his work on the Antwerp Polyglot - a monumental multilingual Bible edition. In this print, we witness not only Montano's physical appearance but also catch glimpses of his character and accomplishments. It serves as a reminder of Spain's rich cultural heritage during that period. Ken Welsh's masterful photography brings out every intricate detail with precision and finesse. The choice to present it in black and white adds depth to the image while maintaining its timeless quality. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece; it is also a historical artifact that transports us back to 16th-century Europe. It invites us to delve into the life and legacy of Benito Arias Montano – an extraordinary individual who left an indelible mark on Spanish history.
