EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Hugo de Groot (Grotius), a prominent 17th-century Dutch jurist and philosopher. The image, created by CL van Kesteren, is part of the collection "Nederlands Geschiedenis en Volksleven in Schetsen" by J Van Lenner and J Ter Gouw. It was published in Leiden by AW Sijthoff around 1870. In this engraving, we see Hugo de Groot dressed in traditional attire of the era, reflecting his occupation as a lawyer and theologian. He stands with an air of wisdom and authority while embracing his family - a testament to the importance he placed on both his professional pursuits and personal relationships. The composition beautifully captures the essence of 17th-century Holland, with its religious undertones evident through the presence of Christian symbolism throughout the image. This print offers us a glimpse into Grotius' world during this pivotal period in history when religion played a significant role in shaping society. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the scene, emphasizing the timelessness of Grotius' contributions to law, philosophy, and theology. Through this artwork, we are reminded of his enduring legacy as one of Netherlands' most influential figures. Overall, this print serves as a powerful visual representation not only of Hugo de Groot but also of Dutch culture during the seventeenth century. It invites us to reflect on our own roles within our families, professions, religions
