EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing figure of John Law (1671-1729), a Scottish financier and gambler whose life was filled with both triumphs and scandals. The engraving, created by Hyacinthe Rigaud (1659-1743) and housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, beautifully captures Law's enigmatic persona. Law's story is one of audacity and controversy. Known for his dashing looks, he fought a fatal duel over a woman before being forced to flee to the continent. However, it was his groundbreaking contributions to finance that truly defined him. Credited with introducing paper money to France, Law rose to prominence as the controller general of finance for the country. In an ambitious move, Law established the Mississippi Company with hopes of developing French colonies in Louisiana. This venture solidified his reputation as an adventurer willing to take risks. Additionally, he created Banque Generale - a pioneering financial institution that revolutionized banking practices during that time. Law's portrait exudes confidence as he dons a wig and jabot - symbols of wealth and status in 18th-century Europe. His piercing gaze hints at both intelligence and mischief. This remarkable image offers us a glimpse into the life of this influential economist, banker, royal advisor, rake, adventurer - all rolled into one complex individual who left an indelible mark on history through his financial innovations and daring exploits.
