Auguste Chasselat Historian Jacques Magistrate Thou
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Jacques Auguste de Thou (1533-1617), a renowned French magistrate and historian. Thou was born in Paris and studied law at the Sorbonne, eventually becoming a magistrate in the Parlement of Paris. However, his true passion lay in history, and he is best known for his extensive work "Historiae Romanae Libri XL," a 10-volume history of ancient Rome. Thou's dedication to historical accuracy and his meticulous research set a new standard for historical writing. He was also a member of the Académie Française, the prestigious literary institution that played a significant role in shaping the French language. This portrait, titled "Thou, Chasselat 2," is attributed to the French artist Jean-Baptiste Chasselat (1565-1632). Chasselat was a skilled portraitist, known for his ability to capture the likeness and personality of his subjects. In this portrait, Thou is depicted in a serious and contemplative manner, reflecting his intellectual and authoritative nature. He is shown wearing the robes of a magistrate, signifying his position in the legal system. Thou's contributions to French history and law have left a lasting impact. His meticulous research and dedication to historical accuracy set a new standard for historical writing, and his work continues to be studied and admired today. This portrait serves as a testament to Thou's legacy as a scholar, magistrate, and cultural figure in 16th-century France.
