EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of David Hume" from David Hume's The History of England, published by R. Bowyer in London in 1812. Created by an anonymous English School artist during the 19th century, this engraving captures the essence of David Hume (1711-76), a prominent Scottish philosopher, historian, economist, and essayist. The portrait depicts Hume in a classical frame adorned with intricate columns and arches that symbolize his intellectual prowess during the Scottish Enlightenment period. With a half-length composition, he gazes confidently at the viewer while sporting a wig and lace cuff that reflect the fashion trends of his time. Through this image, we are transported to an era where ideas were challenged and skepticism reigned supreme. The archway behind him serves as both a physical structure framing his figure and metaphorically representing his philosophical exploration into human nature. This remarkable piece is part of The Stapleton Collection held privately but made accessible through Bridgeman Images. Its historical significance lies not only in its portrayal of one of Scotland's greatest thinkers but also in its representation of an intellectual movement that shaped Western thought for centuries to come.
