EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white aquatint print, titled "Montesquieu," is a timeless depiction of the renowned French philosopher and jurist, Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brede et de Montesquieu. Created by Jean-Baptiste de Grateloup, this antique artwork showcases Montesquieu in an oval-shaped portrait, with a thoughtful and introspective expression on his face. The intricate etching technique used by Grateloup highlights the textures of Montesquieu's clothing, adding depth and dimension to the figure. Montesquieu, born in 1689, was a significant figure in French and European culture, known for his influential works on political theory and jurisprudence. His most famous work, "The Spirit of the Laws," is a seminal text in the field of political science and continues to be studied and debated to this day. This print, which is part of the Art Institute of Chicago's extensive Prints and Drawings collection, offers a glimpse into the heritage and history of Montesquieu's legacy. The image is a reminder of the profound impact that this man had on the development of Western thought and the enduring relevance of his ideas. The profile view of Montesquieu's head, with its prominent nose and furrowed brow, adds to the sense of intellectual intensity and depth conveyed in the artwork. Overall, this print is an essential addition to any collection of historic portraits or works on the history of political thought.
