Hugo Grotius (1583-1645), Dutch jurist and founder of international law. Grotius was born at Delft and at just 11 years of age went to university at Leiden. He became an advocate in 1599. In 1603 a Portuguese ship was captured by a Dutch privateer. The legal wranglings that followed resulted in Grotius book De Indis, a treatise on the natural principles of justice applied to the case. In Mare Liberum of 1609 Grotius proposed that the seas were international territory and all nations were free to use them. In 1618 he was arrested during religious and political struggles in Holland, but escaped in 1621 and settled in France. In 1625 he published the three-volume work on natural law and justice, De jure belli ac pacis, which was hugely influential on the later formation of international law. This engraving comes from van Meurs Illustris Academia Lugd-Batava, printed at Leiden in 1613.

EDITORS COMMENTS

This print showcases the esteemed Hugo Grotius, a prominent Dutch jurist and trailblazer in the field of international law. Born in Delft in 1583, Grotius displayed exceptional intellect from an early age and began his university studies at Leiden when he was just eleven years old. His profound legal expertise became evident when he served as an advocate starting from 1599. One pivotal event that shaped Grotius' career was the capture of a Portuguese ship by a Dutch privateer in 1603. The ensuing legal disputes prompted him to write De Indis, a treatise exploring the application of natural principles of justice to this case. In his groundbreaking work Mare Liberum published in 1609, Grotius advocated for the concept that seas should be considered international territory accessible to all nations. However, political and religious turmoil engulfed Holland during this time, leading to Grotius' arrest in 1618. Remarkably, he managed to escape four years later and sought refuge in France where he settled permanently. It was here that he authored his influential three-volume masterpiece on natural law and justice called De jure belli ac pacis (On the Law of War and Peace), which significantly influenced future developments in international law. This remarkable engraving originates from van Meurs Illustris Academia Lugd-Batava printed at Leiden in 1613. It captures not only Grotius' intellectual prowess but also his role as a philosopher, theologian, humanist, and founder within the realms of jurisprudence. This monochrome portrait serves as a testament to Hugo Grotius' enduring legacy as one of history's most significant figures shaping our understanding of justice on an international scale.
