EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the renowned book "Confucius Sinarum Philosophus" engraved in 1687. The philosophy of Confucius, known as Confucianism, places great importance on personal and governmental morality, social relationships, justice, and sincerity. These values gained prominence during China's Han Dynasty. The right page of this engraving reveals the intriguing title "The Life of Confucius, Prince/First of the Chinese Philosophers". It is fascinating to note that Matteo Ricci, an Italian Jesuit missionary who introduced Confucianism to Europe, was responsible for Latinizing his name as "Confucius". Although compiled many years after his death, Confucius' teachings can be found in the Analects of Confucius—a collection of concise aphoristic fragments. This influential system of philosophy emphasizes ethical conduct and has had a profound impact on Asian societies. Within this image are four individuals engrossed in their study—perhaps scholars or disciples delving into the wisdom imparted by Confucius. The interior setting exudes traditional charm with its black and white aesthetic and ornate furniture. A dragon—an iconic mythical creature often associated with Chinese culture—graces the scene. As we explore this remarkable engraving captured by Bridgeman Images through Fine Art Finder, we are reminded not only of the intellectual legacy left behind by one man but also how his teachings continue to shape our understanding of ethics and morality today.
