EDITORS COMMENTS
Valentin Jamerai Duval (1695-1775): A Pioneering Figure in the World of Numismatics and Librarianship at the Imperial Library and Cabinet of Medals in Vienna This evocative portrait captures Valentin Jamerai Duval, a Frenchman who made a significant mark in the intellectual and cultural landscape of Vienna during the late Baroque period. Duval, born in 1695, served as the esteemed director of the Imperial Library and Cabinet of Medals from 1732 until his death in 1775. His expertise in numismatics, the study of coins and medals, was unparalleled, and he played a crucial role in expanding the renowned collections of the Imperial Library and Cabinet of Medals. Duval's tenure at the Imperial Library and Cabinet of Medals was a time of growth and innovation. He was instrumental in acquiring numerous important collections, including the impressive holdings of the Habsburg ruler, Emperor Charles VI. Duval's dedication to his work extended beyond the realm of numismatics; he also oversaw the expansion of the library's holdings in various fields, making it one of the most comprehensive collections in Europe. The portrait showcases Duval's scholarly demeanor and intellectual curiosity. He is depicted wearing the traditional attire of a 18th-century librarian, with a quill pen in hand and a serious expression on his face. The presence of a large, open book and a cabinet filled with coins and medals in the background underscores his dual roles as a librarian and a numismatist. Valentin Jamerai Duval's contributions to the Imperial Library and Cabinet of Medals in Vienna were invaluable, leaving a lasting impact on the study of numismatics and the preservation of historical artifacts. This portrait is a testament to his dedication, intelligence, and the importance of his work during a time when the pursuit of knowledge was a driving force in European society.
