Antique portrait titled 'Arrius Alexandrinus'. Portrait of Arius. Arius was a Christian presbyter in Alexandria, Egypt of Libyan origins. His teachings about the nature of the Godhead, which emphasized the Father's divinity over the Son, and his opposition to the Athanasian or Trinitarian Christology, made him a controversial figure in the First Council of Nicea, convened by Roman Emperor Constantine in AD 325. This print originates from 'Historie der kerken en ketteren van den beginne des Nieuwen Testaments tot aan het jaar onses Heeren 1688 ... In het Neederduyts vertaald' by G. Arnold.

Artists and Engravers: Gottfried Arnold (1666 to 1714) was a German Lutheran theologian and historian. Etching by Romeyn de Hooghe.

Condition: Very good, general age-related toning. Please study image carefully.
