EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts the enigmatic figure of Pierre-Romain Pilatre de Rozier (1754-1785), a pioneering French aeronaut and one of the earliest pioneers of human flight. Pilatre de Rozier is renowned for his groundbreaking achievements in the realm of aeronautics, having made history as the first human to ascend into the stratosphere aboard a hot air balloon. The image, dated between 1780 and 1800, captures Pilatre de Rozier in a bust-length profile view, his intense gaze fixed on the horizon as if already envisioning the vast expanse of the sky that he would soon conquer. His expression exudes a sense of determination and courage, reflecting the audacious spirit that drove him to push the boundaries of human exploration. Pilatre de Rozier's pioneering spirit was not limited to his aeronautical pursuits; he was also an accomplished scientist and inventor, having collaborated with the Montgolfier brothers on their early experiments with hot air balloons. Together, they conducted numerous successful flights, captivating the public's imagination and paving the way for the development of modern aviation. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of Pilatre de Rozier's indelible contribution to the annals of human history. Tragically, his daring exploits were not without risk, and he met his end during an ill-fated attempt to cross the English Channel in a hot air balloon, along with his passenger, Marquis d'Arlandes. Despite this, Pilatre de Rozier's legacy endures, inspiring generations of aeronauts and aviators who continue to reach for the skies and explore the unknown.
