EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are presented with a striking portrait of the renowned English cartographer, writer, and poet John Ogilby. Created by the talented artist Paul van Somer (II) between 1659 and 1704, this engraving beautifully captures Ogilby in a moment of contemplation. Seated within an elegant building, Ogilby is depicted pointing towards a picture or medallion held delicately in his hand. His profile is highlighted against a dark background, emphasizing his distinguished features and intellectual presence. The artist skillfully portrays Ogilby's deep concentration as he gazes thoughtfully into the distance. John Ogilby was widely recognized for his significant contributions to cartography during the seventeenth century. As one of England's most influential mapmakers and printers, he played a crucial role in shaping our understanding of geography at that time. This portrait serves as both a tribute to his accomplishments and an intimate glimpse into his persona. Quint Lox has masterfully captured the essence of John Ogilby through this print from Liszt Collection. Through careful attention to detail and composition, Lox allows us to connect with this historical figure on a deeper level. Whether you are fascinated by history or simply appreciate fine artistry, this portrait will undoubtedly captivate your imagination and transport you back in time to an era defined by exploration and intellectual curiosity.
