EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Francis Atterbury, the esteemed Bishop of Rochester during the 18th century. Created by George Vertue and preserved in a private collection, this print showcases Atterbury's dignified presence and intellectual prowess. Atterbury, born in 1662 and passing away in 1732, was a prominent figure within the English clergy. His influence extended beyond his role as bishop, as he played an active part in political affairs during his time. Known for his eloquent sermons and persuasive oratory skills, Atterbury became renowned for defending the rights of the Church against encroachments from the state. The illustration itself is sourced from Woodburns Gallery of Rare Portraits published by George Jones in London in 1816. The fine details captured by Vertue bring out Atterbury's commanding gaze and distinguished features with remarkable precision. As we delve into this artwork from centuries past, it serves as a reminder of England's rich history and its significant figures who shaped both religious and political landscapes. This engraving not only pays homage to Bishop Francis Atterbury but also offers us a glimpse into an era where faith held great importance within society. Through this visual representation, we are transported back to a time when Christian values were deeply ingrained within European culture. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of religion while showcasing Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving historical artworks for generations to come.
