EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the engraved portrait of Samuel Clarke, created by Jacobus Houbraken between 1737 and 1748. The image captures Clarke's intellectual prowess and spiritual dedication, making it a remarkable piece of art. Samuel Clarke (1675-1729) was not only an English philosopher but also an Anglican clergyman who served as the Rector of St. James's in Westminster. His contributions to theology, metaphysics, and philosophy were highly regarded during the Georgian era and the Enlightenment period. In this oval-shaped engraving, we see Clarke depicted from the shoulders up, emphasizing his distinguished appearance. As a doctor, reverend, priest, vicar, metaphysician, theologian, and physicist all rolled into one extraordinary individual; he embodied a unique blend of knowledge across various disciplines. The intricate details captured by Thomas Gibson in this engraving highlight both Clarke's physical features and his intellectual depth. It is evident that great care was taken to portray him accurately while capturing his essence as a prominent figure of his time. This particular print belongs to a private collection but is available for public appreciation through Fine Art Finder. Its historical significance cannot be understated as it offers us insight into the life and achievements of Samuel Clarke – an influential thinker whose ideas continue to shape our understanding of theology and philosophy today.
