EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the esteemed Marquis of Condorcet, Marie-Jean-Antoine-Nicolas de Caritat. Painted by Jean Baptiste Greuze, or possibly a member of his school, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 72x60 cm and is housed in the magnificent Château de Versailles in France. Marie-Jean-Antoine-Nicolas de Caritat was not only a marquis but also a renowned French philosopher, mathematician, and politician. He held prestigious positions as a member of both the Académie des Sciences and the Académie Française. Known for his work on probability theory, he authored "Sketch for a Historical Picture of the Progress of the Human Mind". Despite his intellectual achievements, Condorcet's life took an unfortunate turn during the French Revolution. As an opponent to the radical Jacobins' extreme ideologies, he found himself imprisoned where he tragically met his demise. Greuze's skillful brushwork captures Condorcet's dignified presence with precision and elegance. The oval-shaped composition focuses solely on this distinguished male figure against a neutral background that emphasizes his importance. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only Greuze's artistry but also offers insight into one of history's great minds. With its rich historical context and artistic excellence, this portrait serves as a timeless reminder of Condorcet's significant contributions to philosophy and politics during turbulent times in France.
