EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking portrait, Anne Dacier, née Lefèvre (1654-1720), a renowned French classical scholar, is depicted with an air of intelligence and refinement. Born into a noble family, Anne was educated in the humanities and became an expert in Greek and Latin literature. She married André Dacier, a fellow scholar and member of the prestigious Académie Française, in 1678. Despite her exceptional scholarly achievements, Anne was denied the opportunity to join the Académie Française herself due to her gender. This was a common limitation in the 17th century, as women were not allowed to hold membership in the institution. Nevertheless, Anne continued to make significant contributions to the field of classical studies through her collaborations with her husband and their publication of annotated editions of ancient texts. Anne's most notable work was her defense of the authenticity of the "Iliad" against the criticisms of the scholar Thomas Hobbes. Her groundbreaking study, "Remarques sur l'Iliade" (1690), challenged Hobbes' theories and established her reputation as a formidable scholar. Her work was widely acclaimed, and she was recognized as a leading authority on Homer and the ancient Greeks. In this portrait, Anne is shown wearing a simple yet elegant gown, her hands resting on a book, symbolizing her dedication to learning. Her gaze is focused, conveying her deep concentration and intellectual curiosity. The portrait captures the essence of Anne's remarkable intellect and her unwavering commitment to the study of classical literature, despite the barriers she faced as a woman in a male-dominated field.
