EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Virtue pays Homage at Rousseau's Tomb, Ermenonville" transports us back to the 18th century, capturing a moment of profound respect and tribute. The hand-coloured stipple engraving, created by the French School in 1866, showcases the delicate artistry that brings this scene to life. The image depicts a serene setting at Rousseau's tomb in Ermenonville, where virtue itself is personified paying homage. A figure draped in flowing robes stands before the tombstone adorned with flowers, symbolizing reverence and admiration for Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This Genevan political philosopher left an indelible mark on history with his influential ideas. Originally buried on the Ile des Peupliers in Ermenonville, Rousseau now rests eternally at the Pantheon in Paris. The artist Morange skillfully engraved this poignant moment as a lasting tribute to one of Switzerland's most renowned philosophers. Through this artwork, we are reminded of Rousseau's intellectual legacy and his impact on political thought. His writings continue to inspire generations with their emphasis on individual freedom and social contract theory. As we gaze upon this evocative print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are invited to reflect upon our own values and virtues while paying homage to those who have shaped our world through their wisdom and ideas.
