July 8, 1741: Reverend Jonathan Edwards, one of my stern Puritan cousins, delivered his terrifying "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" sermon in Enfield, Connecticut. 🕷️🔥 #OTD Portrait by Henry Augustus Loop (after a contemporary portrait by Joseph Badger), 1860. At Princeton University.

A very dark portrait. Edwards is painted wearing a black robe against a nearly black barckground. The only light is from Edwards' pale, staring, thin-lipped face, his corona of white hair, and his white collar with vertical white tabs. Repent, insects!
