EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Pierre Pithou, 1878" transports us back to the intellectual world of the 19th century. The portrait depicts Pierre Pithou, also known as Petrus Pithoeus, a renowned French lawyer and scholar who lived from 1539 to 1596. With his piercing gaze and distinguished features, Pithou exudes an air of wisdom and intellect. The artist behind this masterpiece is unknown but belongs to the English School of the 19th century. This particular print comes from a private collection and showcases Pithou in all his scholarly glory. It is part of a larger work called "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages" by Paul Lacroix, published in London. The lithograph captures not only Pithou's physical appearance but also hints at his profound contributions to law and academia during his lifetime. As we admire this image, we can't help but wonder about the countless hours he spent immersed in books or engaged in intense debates with fellow intellectuals. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this historical gem has been brought back into our consciousness for all to appreciate. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by history's great minds, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into one man's intellectual journey that continues to inspire generations even today.
