EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century colour engraving captures the essence of Thomas Hobbes, an influential English philosopher who lived from 1588 to 1679. Created by Jan Baptist Jaspers, this portrait showcases Hobbes' intellectual depth and contemplative nature. Hobbes was known for his groundbreaking ideas on political philosophy and social contract theory. His most famous work, "Leviathan" explored the concept of a powerful central government that maintains order in society. This engraving beautifully conveys his thoughtful demeanor and scholarly presence. The vibrant colours used in this print bring life to the image, highlighting the significance of Hobbes' contributions to British philosophy. The intricate details captured by Jaspers showcase his skill as an engraver and artist. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported back to the 17th century in England – a time when great thinkers like Hobbes shaped our understanding of politics and human nature. It serves as a reminder of how one individual's ideas can have a profound impact on society for centuries to come. This print is not just a piece of art but also a historical document that allows us to connect with one of Britain's greatest philosophers. It is through images like these that we can appreciate the rich cultural heritage left behind by brilliant minds like Thomas Hobbes.
