EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable illustration of Etiene Dolet, created by Boris Mestchersky in 1957. The artwork is a copy from the renowned book "Histoire de la Nation Francaise, Sciences, Volumes I & II" by Gabriel Hanotaux, published in 1924. This colorful lithograph portrays Dolet with great attention to detail and captures his essence as a prominent figure of the Renaissance era. Etiene Dolet (1509-1546) was not only a printer but also an influential humanist who played a significant role in shaping French literature and culture during his time. His intellectual pursuits were met with controversy and opposition due to his unorthodox beliefs, which ultimately led to him being labeled as a heretic. The portrait depicts Dolet with an impressive mustache and beard that exude sophistication and wisdom. It serves as a testament to his resilience and unwavering commitment to knowledge despite facing persecution for his ideas. This engraving offers us a glimpse into the life of this martyr for free thought during one of history's most transformative periods. As we admire this piece from the Stapleton Collection, we are reminded of the power that art holds in preserving our collective memory and honoring those who dared to challenge societal norms for the pursuit of truth.
