A Wikipedia article on Ignatius of Loyola, the Basque soldier turned priest who founded the Society of Jesus in 1540 and wrote the Spiritual Exercises. The article documents his standard portrait iconography, a black-cassocked founder often shown with a book or the Jesuit monogram, the same convention later engraved portraits such as museum-held prints of him continue.
