EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Roger Bacon (c. 1220-92)" from the renowned book "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance". Created by Paul Lacroix in 1878, this woodcut engraving beautifully captures the essence of Roger Bacon, an English philosopher and scientist. In this portrait, we see a distinguished figure with a monk's habit, representing his devout dedication to knowledge. His piercing gaze reflects his deep intellect as he contemplates the mysteries of alchemy, optics, astronomy, and more. The delicate details of flowers adorning his habit symbolize his connection to nature's wonders. Roger Bacon is famously known for inventing a camera obscura specifically designed for observing solar eclipses—an extraordinary feat during medieval times. This innovation showcased his pioneering spirit and relentless pursuit of understanding celestial phenomena. The composition exudes an aura of wisdom and curiosity that defined Roger Bacon's contributions to science during the 13th century. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images from a private collection, we are transported back in time to witness the brilliance of one man who dared to challenge conventional thinking. This print serves as both an homage to Roger Bacon's legacy as well as a testament to how art can immortalize great minds throughout history.
