Thomas Fuller, Divine and Historian is a 1661 ink by David Loggan, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white portrait shows a serious man in a high collar. His curly hair and beard frame a strong face. The background is plain, but the border around him is fancy—full of swirls and Latin words. The text at the bottom says the artist did a good job with his face but not his mind. The words hint this man was smart and important. Want to see more? Look up engraving to learn how artists like this carved images into metal.
David Loggan (1634–1692) was an artist, born in Gdańsk.
