In this portrait print, titled "Portrait of the Jesuit Joao de Almeida" we are transported back to the 17th century and introduced to a remarkable figure. Painted by Richard Collin between 1660 and 1680, this artwork showcases the esteemed Jesuit priest in all his glory. Joao de Almeida stands tall and confident, exuding an air of wisdom and authority. His hand rests gently on a chest, symbolizing his dedication to his religious duties. A scourge lies nearby, reminding us of the sacrifices he has made for his faith. The background features caryatids anglica - statuesque figures that represent strength and support. They serve as a reminder of the challenges faced by missionaries like Joao de Almeida as they worked tirelessly to spread their message in far-flung lands such as Brasilia. This portrait captures not only Joao de Almeida's physical appearance but also hints at his inner character. The intensity in his gaze suggests a deep connection with spirituality and an unwavering commitment to serving others. Richard Collin's skillful brushwork brings out every intricate detail, from the folds in Joao de Almeida's robes to the delicate features on his face.
