EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print depicts Francois Pilatre de Rozier, a renowned French chemist and aeronaute of the 18th century. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, but their skill in capturing the essence of de Rozier is undeniable. With an air of wisdom and experience, de Rozier gazes confidently at the viewer. His deep-set eyes convey a profound knowledge and understanding of his craft. As a chemist, he delved into the mysteries of natural elements, unraveling their secrets to further scientific progress. However, it was his pioneering work in aviation that truly set him apart. De Rozier became one of the first humans to ascend into the skies aboard an aerostat - a hot air balloon. This groundbreaking achievement solidified his place in history as one of France's most esteemed figures. The late 18th-century setting adds an aura of elegance to this portrait. It serves as a reminder that during this period, great minds like de Rozier pushed boundaries and expanded human horizons through their relentless pursuit of knowledge. Thanks to Giancarlo Costa's expert restoration work on this print from a private collection, we can now appreciate every intricate detail with clarity and precision. This remarkable piece not only pays homage to an extraordinary individual but also celebrates the enduring power of science and exploration throughout history.
