EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Dutch scholar, Hugo de Groot, in all his intellectual glory. The portrait captures his dignified presence and profound wisdom, symbolizing his significant contributions to academia. Above him, two praise trumpets herald his achievements and underscore the admiration he garnered during his lifetime. Beneath the portrait lies a rich tapestry of symbolism. The Loevestein Castle serves as a reminder of De Groot's imprisonment there for political reasons, highlighting both his resilience and enduring legacy. A set of scales represents justice and fairness, reflecting De Groot's influential work in legal theory. The inclusion of books signifies De Groot's scholarly pursuits and intellectual prowess. These volumes are a testament to his extensive knowledge and groundbreaking ideas that continue to shape our understanding today. A caduceus—a staff entwined with two snakes—serves as an attribute of Mercury, the Roman god associated with eloquence and communication. This emblem further emphasizes De Groot's mastery of rhetoric and persuasive discourse. Created by Pieter van Gunst between 1710-1731 in Amsterdam, this exquisite engraving on paper measures 171 mm wide by 222 mm high. It is part of the Liszt Collection—an invaluable treasure trove that celebrates historical artistry
