EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving showcases Jean Francois Marmontel (1723-1799), a prominent French writer and historian of the 18th century. Marmontel is depicted in profile, with his long, curled ponytail cascading down his back and a ribbon adorned with ringlets securing it in place. His hairstyle, popular during the modern age, frames his oval face and accentuates his distinguished features. Marmontel was a versatile intellect, excelling in various literary genres including drama, poetry, and philosophy. He was a prominent figure in the French Encyclopédie, a groundbreaking project that aimed to document all known knowledge up to that point. Marmontel's contributions to the Encyclopédie, as an encyclopediste, were significant, and he was also a respected member of the French Academy. In this portrait, Marmontel's serious expression and piercing gaze convey his deep engagement with the intellectual pursuits of his time. The intricate details of his attire, from the voluminous coat to the delicate ribbon, further emphasize his status as a man of letters and a respected historian. This enchanting image offers a glimpse into the world of 18th-century French literature and intellectual life, and serves as a testament to Marmontel's enduring legacy.
