EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching depicts Artus de Lionne (1655-1713), a renowned French missionary and Bishop of Rosalia, who dedicated his life to spreading the Christian faith in Siam and China through the Paris Foreign Missions Society. The original work was created in France in 1847, and a Spanish translation was published in Barcelona in 1863 as part of a comprehensive historical account of missions from the thirteenth century to the present day. The artist of this exquisite portrait is Mathieu-Richard-Auguste Henrion, Baron of Henrion (1805-1862), a prolific Catalan engraver. The image captures the deep belief and devotion that characterized Artus de Lionne's missionary work. He is depicted in his bishop's robes, holding a cross and a book, symbolizing the spread of the gospel and the importance of education in his missionary endeavors. The intricate details of the etching reveal the artist's mastery of the medium, making this a valuable addition to any collection of religious or historical art. The portrait also serves as a testament to the enduring influence of religious beliefs and the role of missionaries in shaping the world's cultural and spiritual landscape.
