EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the esteemed Jeremy Bentham, a prominent figure in English intellectual history. Born in 1748 and passing away in 1832, Bentham was not only an influential philosopher but also an economist and theoretical jurist. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, yet their skillful brushstrokes have immortalized Bentham's likeness for generations to come. In this striking portrayal, Bentham's piercing gaze captures the essence of his profound intellect. His furrowed brow suggests deep contemplation while his composed expression exudes wisdom and curiosity. The intricate details of his attire reflect the fashion of the 18th century, transporting us back to a time when great minds like Bentham shaped society with their ideas. As we delve into the life and works of Jeremy Bentham, we discover a man who tirelessly advocated for utilitarianism - the belief that actions should be judged by their overall happiness or pleasure produced. His philosophical contributions challenged conventional thinking and laid the groundwork for modern ethical theories. This print serves as a reminder of England's rich intellectual heritage and pays homage to one of its most remarkable thinkers. It invites us to ponder upon questions that continue to shape our world today: What is true happiness? How can we create a just society? Through this portrait, Giancarlo Costa has captured both the physical presence and enduring legacy of Jeremy Bentham – forever preserving his image as an icon of British philosophy.
