EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury, an influential English philosopher of the 17th century. The portrait showcases his intellectual prowess and profound impact on political philosophy. Created by Jan Baptist Jaspers, this print is a reproduction of a painting that captures the essence of Hobbes' philosophical ideas. Hobbes was known for his groundbreaking work in political theory, particularly his book "Leviathan" which explored the nature of society and government. His ideas challenged traditional notions and emphasized the importance of social contracts and absolute sovereignty. The engraving beautifully portrays Hobbes with great detail, showcasing his contemplative expression and distinguished appearance. Wenceslaus Hollar skillfully translated Jaspers' painting into this exquisite piece of art.

This engraving serves as a testament to his enduring legacy in shaping modern political thought. Displayed within private collections, this print offers viewers an opportunity to connect with history and appreciate the brilliance behind Thomas Hobbes' contributions to philosophy. Ken Welsh's expertise in fine art preservation ensures that this remarkable piece continues to inspire generations to come.
