EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Portrait of George Berkeley, an influential figure in both religious and philosophical realms. Engraved by the talented Thomas Cook in approximately 1781, this artwork is a testament to the skill and artistry of the English School during the 18th century. George Berkeley (1685-1753), known as Bishop of Cloyne, was not only a prominent clergyman but also a renowned philosopher. Serving as the British Ambassador to the King of Sicily, his intellectual contributions were far-reaching. His notable works include "A New Theory of Vision" and "Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous" where he argued that our perception shapes our understanding of reality. The oval-shaped portrait captures Berkeley's dignified presence with remarkable precision. As an idealist thinker, he believed that material existence depended solely on being perceived by one's mind rather than having an independent existence. This profound metaphysical concept challenged conventional wisdom at its core. Now housed in Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this engraving offers us a glimpse into history while honoring Berkeley's legacy. It serves as a reminder of his significant contributions to philosophy and theology alike.
