EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a steel engraving from the 19th century, depicting a Mendicant Friar. The image is based on a painting by Thomas de Keyser, created in the 17th century. The subject of this artwork is an Italian Monk, seated and adorned in his traditional cassock. His devout Catholic faith is evident as he holds onto a rosary, symbolizing his dedication to prayer and spirituality. The friar's appearance exudes humility and simplicity, with his long beard adding to the sense of wisdom and experience that comes with a life devoted to religious service. As a mendicant friar, it suggests that he relies on alms or donations for sustenance. This steel engraving beautifully captures the essence of this Italian monk's devotion and commitment to his calling. It serves as both an artistic representation of religious life during the 17th century and as a historical document reflecting the cultural significance of monks within society. Displayed through Granger Art on Demand, this print allows viewers to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such engravings but also offers insight into centuries-old traditions that continue to shape our understanding of faith today.
