EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Avicenna, also known as Ibn Sina, a Persian polymath who lived from 980 to 1037. The illustration is taken from the book Les vrais pourtraits et vies des hommes illustres by Andre Thevet, published in 1584. Avicenna's profound influence during the Islamic Golden Age is evident through his extensive body of work, consisting of nearly 450 treatises with around 240 surviving to this day. As a philosopher and medical expert, Avicenna's contributions were groundbreaking. His writings primarily focused on philosophy and medicine, making him an esteemed figure in both fields. This portrait captures his intellectual prowess and dedication to expanding knowledge. The artist behind this engraving is part of the French School from the 16th century. Their attention to detail brings out the essence of Avicenna's character and accomplishments. The robe he wears signifies his role as a respected scholar within society. Andre Thevet, a Franciscan author responsible for compiling this collection of portraits and biographies, recognized Avicenna's significance among other illustrious individuals throughout history. This print serves as a reminder of Avicenna's lasting legacy and his immense impact on philosophy and medicine during one of history's most influential periods – the Islamic Golden Age.
