Created in 1742 by G van der Gucht, this engraving captures Emlyn's dignified presence and intellectual prowess. Emlyn holds a significant place in history as the first Unitarian minister in England. He boldly embraced the term "Unitarian" to express his liberal and rational approach to God, challenging conventional Christian belief in the Trinity. His theological views were revolutionary for their time, sparking important debates on religious philosophy. The artist skillfully portrays Emlyn with an air of wisdom and contemplation. The oval-shaped frame adds a touch of elegance to this remarkable piece of art from the eighteenth century.
