EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a copy of Diderot, created by the talented artist Boris Mestchersky in 1957. The illustration is taken from "Histoire de la Nation Francaise, Sciences, Volumes I & II" a renowned work by Gabriel Hanotaux published in 1924. This lithograph was skillfully executed by Charles Nicolas II Cochin (1715-90) and now resides in a private collection. The subject of this mesmerizing portrait is none other than Denis Diderot himself, the influential French philosopher and writer who lived from 1713 to 1784. Diderot's intellectual contributions during the Enlightenment era have left an indelible mark on academia and encyclopedic knowledge. In this half-length profile portrait, Diderot exudes wisdom and contemplation. His distinguished appearance is enhanced by his meticulously styled wig, which was fashionable during that period. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of this esteemed encyclopedist, portraying him as both scholarly and enigmatic. Displayed within The Stapleton Collection, this image holds historical significance as it provides us with a glimpse into the life of one of France's most celebrated thinkers. As an out-of-copyright piece of art belonging to Bridgeman Images' vast repertoire, it serves as a testament to human curiosity and intellectual pursuit throughout history. Whether you are an admirer of fine art or simply intrigued by Enlightenment philosophy, this remarkable photo print
