EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Montaigne" takes us back to the 19th century, a time of great historical significance. The artwork is part of a private collection and was created by an anonymous French School artist during this era. The image serves as an illustration for the renowned book "Histoire de France en Cent Tableaux" (History of France in One Hundred Paintings) by Paul Lehugeur. This publication, printed around 1880, aimed to depict various aspects of French history through visual storytelling. Montaigne himself was a prominent figure during the Renaissance period, known for his philosophical writings and essays that explored human nature and self-reflection. The engraver skillfully captures Montaigne's essence with intricate details that highlight his intellectual depth. The high level of craftsmanship displayed in this print reflects the artistic style prevalent during the late Renaissance. The use of black and white adds a timeless quality to the image while emphasizing its historical context. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported to a different time and place – one where intellect thrived amidst societal changes in Europe. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to delve into Montaigne's profound thoughts on life and existence.
