EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Hugo Grotius, a renowned Dutch jurist who revolutionized international law in the 17th century. The image, taken in 1830 by an unknown creator, showcases Grotius' direct gaze as he looks confidently at the camera. Hugo Grotius, also known as Huig de Groot (1583-1645), is depicted wearing traditional clothing of his time with a distinguished collar and a well-groomed moustache. His attire reflects both his profession and his religious background as he was involved in intra-Calvinist disputes during his lifetime. The photograph alludes to one of the most fascinating chapters in Grotius' life - his daring escape from imprisonment by hiding inside a chest filled with books. It was during this period that he wrote many of his influential works while exiled in France. Grotius' contribution to legal literature and philosophy cannot be overstated. He laid the foundations for modern international law based on natural law principles, which continue to shape our understanding of justice today. This portrait provides us with a glimpse into the mind behind these groundbreaking ideas. It reminds us not only of Grotius' intellectual prowess but also serves as a testament to human resilience and determination against adversity. The print is part of "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830. Its inclusion within this collection highlights its historical significance within the realm of arts and culture.
