EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Portraits of Great Philosophers: Locke" transports us back in time to the intellectual realm of the 17th century. Created by artist Gordon Ross (1872-1946), this print showcases a profound portrait of John Locke, one of history's most influential thinkers. Locke's piercing gaze captivates our attention as we delve into his world of philosophical ideas. Known for his groundbreaking theories on human understanding and political governance, Locke's legacy continues to shape modern thought. The lithograph is part of a private collection and was originally commissioned as an illustration for "Living Biographies of Great Philosophers" by Henry Thomas and Dana Lee Thomas in 1946. Its inclusion in this esteemed publication speaks volumes about its historical significance. As we observe this remarkable piece, we are reminded that philosophy is not confined to dusty textbooks but lives within the minds and hearts of great thinkers like Locke. The fine details captured by Ross highlight the depth and complexity behind each stroke, inviting us to ponder upon the intricate web woven by these philosophers' thoughts. Whether you are an avid student or simply appreciate art that provokes contemplation, this print serves as a window into the intellectual past while inspiring curiosity about timeless questions concerning human nature, knowledge, and society.
