EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished presence of Pierre-Jean Beckx, a prominent Belgian Jesuit. Serving as the Superior-General of the Society of Jesus during the late 19th century, Beckx's influence extended far beyond his native land. The wood engraving, created in America in 1872, beautifully captures his essence. In this portrait, Father Beckx exudes an air of wisdom and authority. His piercing gaze reveals a deep understanding and unwavering commitment to his calling as a priest. The lines etched on his face speak volumes about a life dedicated to service and contemplation. Beckx's contribution to the Society of Jesus cannot be overstated. As its Superior-General, he guided the order through challenging times with great skill and vision. Under his leadership, the Jesuits expanded their reach globally while remaining steadfast in their mission to promote education, spirituality, and social justice. This image serves as a testament to Beckx's enduring legacy within both religious circles and historical scholarship. It is not just a mere depiction but rather an invitation into the world of this remarkable man who left an indelible mark on society. Whether displayed in homes or institutions alike, this powerful portrait reminds us of Father Pierre-Jean Beckx's profound impact on both faith-based communities and humanity at large.
