EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving from the 18th century showcases Charles le Beau, a prominent figure in French history. Born in 1701 and passing away in 1778, le Beau was not only a writer and historian but also held significant positions as a cleric and statesman. The print is part of the Receuil des Estampes collection, which depicts various ranks and dignities across different nations. In this portrait, le Beau is portrayed in full length attire befitting his status as Procurator of Nations of the University of Paris. His regal presence exudes authority and intelligence, capturing his role as a professor of eloquence at Sorbonne University. The artist behind this masterpiece is Pierre Duflos (1742-1816), known for his skillful engravings that beautifully capture the essence of his subjects. This particular print belongs to a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. As we delve into the rich history depicted within this image, we are reminded of le Beau's contributions to literature and academia during the early 18th century. His writings have left an indelible mark on French culture, making him one of the most esteemed writers and historians of his time. This engraving serves as both an artistic treasure and historical documentation that allows us to appreciate Charles le Beau's legacy for generations to come.
