EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Hieronymus Rocca, bishop of Ischia, in a moment of serene contemplation. The portrait captures him sitting at his desk in his study, surrounded by elements that reflect his devout nature and scholarly pursuits. An hourglass stands as a reminder of the fleeting passage of time, while a crucifix symbolizes his unwavering faith. A bell and writing spring hint at the administrative tasks he undertakes as a bishop. The foreground is adorned with an array of books and notebooks, testaments to Bishop Rocca's intellectual curiosity and dedication to knowledge. Through the window in the background, we catch a glimpse of a majestic church, perhaps representing both his spiritual home and the wider community he serves. Intriguingly, on the margin surrounding this remarkable portrait are inscribed Bishop Rocca's name and coat of arms - symbols that speak to his noble lineage and heraldry. This personal touch adds depth to our understanding of this influential figure. Created between 1665-1725 by Arnold van Westerhout through paper etching techniques, this artwork transports us back in time to witness Bishop Rocca's devotion firsthand. It offers us an intimate glimpse into both his inner world and external surroundings – reminding us that even great leaders find solace within their studies.
