EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Jean Jacques Rousseau's life in Switzerland, where he faced persecution and lived without asylum. The aquatint, created by Charon d after Boucher in the 19th century, beautifully depicts Rousseau's struggle and isolation during this tumultuous period. Rousseau, a renowned French writer and philosopher of the 18th century, is portrayed with great detail and emotion. His face reflects both weariness and determination as he navigates through his difficult circumstances. The artist skillfully conveys Rousseau's inner turmoil through delicate strokes that capture every nuance of his expression. The backdrop of Switzerland adds to the poignancy of the image. It symbolizes both refuge and rejection for Rousseau - a land that should have offered him sanctuary but instead became a place where he was persecuted. This juxtaposition highlights the complexities of his life as an influential thinker who often found himself at odds with society. Displayed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, this aquatint serves as a powerful reminder of Rousseau's enduring legacy. Despite facing adversity throughout his lifetime, he left an indelible mark on literature and philosophy that continues to inspire generations today. Leonard de Selva expertly captures this historical moment through photography, preserving it for future generations to reflect upon. Through this image, we are invited to delve into Rousseau's world - one filled with passion, intellectual curiosity, and unwavering resilience against all odds.
