EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Robert Leighton, the esteemed Archbishop of Glasgow, in a stunning engraving created by Robert White during the late 17th century. The Scottish School artist beautifully captures Leighton's dignified presence and scholarly aura. Leighton, born in 1611 and passing away in 1684, was not only a prominent church minister but also held prestigious positions such as Bishop of Dunblane and Principal of the University of Edinburgh. Renowned for his Christian piety, humility, and devotion to his calling, he left an indelible mark on Scotland's religious landscape. In this half-length portrait, Leighton exudes wisdom and authority with his distinguished moustache framing his face. Clad in regal robes adorned with a clerical collar, he stands against a roundel frame atop an elegant plinth. The attention to detail captured by the Scottish artist is truly remarkable; every line etched into the engraving reflects Leighton's character and significance within both ecclesiastical circles and academia. This exceptional artwork now resides within a private collection but continues to inspire viewers with its historical value. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Fine Art Finder courtesy of www. bridgemanart. com, we are reminded of Robert Leighton's enduring legacy as an influential figure in Scottish clergy history—a man whose commitment to faith resonates even centuries later.
