J.Smith ex. Is.Beckett. [After Simon Du Bois.]
[n.d., c.1680.]
Mezzotint. Sheet 425 x 250mm (16¾ x 9"). Trimmed. Some faint creases. Taped into mount at top.
Portrait of Hadriaan Beverland (1650 - 1716), Dutch humanist scholar who was banished from Holland in 1679 and settled in England in 1680. In his studies Beverland defined sexual lust as the original sin. He argued that Adam and Eve had had sexual relations in the Garden of Eden, disobeying God's commands. As a punishment, all people were henceforth dominated by sexual desire. Beverland concentrated on the past to display the universal power of lust in human nature. During a provincial Synod in Gouda in July 1679 Beverland's works were discussed by members of the Dutch Reformed Church. They concluded that his study on sex and sin was licentious and injurious, deputies from the Synods of North- and South-Holland sent a request to the States of Holland. On 12 September 1679 the States approved the request of the deputies of the Synods, in which they had asked to prohibit and repress Beverland's publications to conserve God, his Word, and the Dutch Reformed religion, and to protect young people in Dutch society from Beverland's ideas. On the 26th of October 1679 Beverland was arrested.

Portrait of René Descartes (1596 - 1650), French philosopher, scientist, and mathematician, widely considered a seminal figure in the emergence of modern philosophy and science. Mathematics was paramount to his method of inquiry, and he connected the previously separate fields of geometry and algebra into analytic geometry. Descartes has often been called the father of modern philosophy, and is largely seen as responsible for the increased attention given to epistemology in the 17th century.
