Portret van Andres Bini, 72ste Minister Generaal van de franciscaner orde 1710 - 1738

This engraving by Antonio Luciani (1700-1738) depicts Andreas Binius, the 72nd Minister General of the Franciscan Order. Created between 1710 and 1738, the portrait shows Binius in a simple yet dignified pose, wearing the traditional Franciscan habit. The inscription around the oval frame identifies him as "F. Andreas Binius, Generalis LXXII," emphasizing his high standing within the order. The overall composition and use of line in this engraving, typical of the period, make it a valuable historical document for understanding the representation of Franciscan leadership in the early 18th century.
