EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed French statesman, Jean-Baptiste Colbert. Created by Maurin in the 17th century, this portrait captures the essence of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping France's economic landscape during his time as Louis XIV's Chief Minister. Colbert's remarkable achievements include reforming France's chaotic financial administration and taxation system, which laid the foundation for modernizing and expanding the country's manufacturing industry. His success was even more impressive considering King Louis XIV's extravagant spending habits on wars and luxury. Not only did Colbert excel in managing France's economy, but he also played a crucial role in developing it as a naval power. This visionary statesman recognized the importance of maritime strength for national prosperity and worked tirelessly to advance France on that front. Maurin skillfully captured Colbert's dignified presence through this engraving-turned-lithograph. The monochrome palette adds an air of sophistication to this historic piece of art. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded of Jean-Baptiste Colbert’s enduring legacy as an influential politician and dedicated public servant. His contributions continue to resonate through centuries, making him an icon not just within French history but also within global politics and economics.
