EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned English philosopher, Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679), captured in an etching from 1665 by Wenceslaus Hollar. With his distinctive goatee and mustache, Hobbes exudes wisdom and intellect. As one of the most influential thinkers of his time, Hobbes's ideas on political philosophy continue to shape our understanding of society today. In this etching, we see a glimpse into the world of a brilliant mind. Hobbes is depicted as a distinguished gentleman with his neatly trimmed facial hair and refined attire. His piercing gaze suggests deep contemplation and introspection. The intricate details in Hollar's etching bring out the essence of Hobbes's character, capturing both his intellectual prowess and philosophical curiosity. Hobbes was known for his seminal work "Leviathan" which explored human nature and advocated for strong central authority to maintain social order. His ideas challenged prevailing notions about government and individual rights during a tumultuous period in English history. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by Thomas Hobbes - a man who fearlessly questioned conventional wisdom to unravel profound truths about human existence. It invites us to reflect upon our own beliefs and encourages us to engage with timeless philosophical concepts that continue to shape our world today.
