Confucius, ancient Chinese philosopher, (1780). Artist: Pierre Duflos
Confucius, ancient Chinese philosopher, (1780). According to Chinese tradition, Confucius (551-479 BC) was a thinker, political figure, educator, and founder of the Ru School of Chinese thought. His teachings, preserved in the Analects, form the foundation of much of subsequent Chinese speculation on the education and comportment of the ideal man.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable representation of Confucius, the revered ancient Chinese philosopher. Created by Pierre Duflos in 1780, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of Confucius and his significant contributions to Chinese tradition and philosophy. According to historical accounts, Confucius was not only a profound thinker but also a political figure, educator, and founder of the Ru School of Chinese thought. His teachings, which are meticulously preserved in the Analects, continue to shape much of China's intellectual discourse on education and moral conduct. Dressed in traditional attire from that era, Confucius stands tall with an air of wisdom and serenity surrounding him. The artist skillfully portrays his subject's deep contemplation through intricate details etched into every line on his face. This portrait truly embodies the spirit of a wise man who dedicated his life to guiding others towards virtue and righteousness. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its artistic brilliance but also in its cultural importance. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by one of history's most influential figures. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Confucius' profound impact on Chinese society and how his teachings continue to resonate with people around the world today.
