EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned English philosopher, Thomas Hobbes, captured in a moment of intellectual contemplation. Created by the talented artist William Faithorne in 1668, this engraving beautifully portrays Hobbes' profound influence on political philosophy during the 17th century. Hobbes, known for his seminal work "Leviathan" is depicted here with an air of wisdom and authority. His piercing gaze reflects a deep understanding of human nature and society's intricate workings. As one of Britain's most influential thinkers, Hobbes delved into topics such as social contracts and political power dynamics that continue to shape our world today. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this portrait, emphasizing the enduring relevance of Hobbes' ideas. The meticulous detail captured by Faithorne highlights both his skill as an artist and his reverence for his subject matter. Displayed at the opening of London's New Library and Museum in November 1872, this print serves as a testament to James Anderson Rose's dedication to preserving historical portraits like these. It stands as a reminder of England's rich cultural heritage and its contributions to philosophy and intellectual discourse. Whether you are an admirer of British history or simply intrigued by philosophical thought, this striking image offers insight into the mind of Thomas Hobbes – an extraordinary man who left an indelible mark on politics, society, and our collective understanding.
