Doctor Economist Francois

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned figure of François Quesnay, a prominent French physician and economist who lived from 1694 to 1774. The stipple engraving, crafted in the 19th century by skilled French artists, beautifully captures his distinguished appearance and intellectual prowess. In this portrait, Quesnay is depicted wearing an elaborate wig that was fashionable during the 18th century. The intricate details of his attire reflect the elegance and refinement associated with men of his time. As a physician, he made significant contributions to medical science, but it was as an economist that Quesnay truly left his mark on history. Considered one of the founding fathers of modern economics, Quesnay developed influential theories known as physiocracy. He believed that agricultural production was the primary source of wealth for nations and advocated for policies promoting free trade and limited government intervention in economic affairs. This remarkable engraving not only immortalizes François Quesnay's physical appearance but also symbolizes his lasting impact on both medicine and economics. It serves as a reminder of how individuals like him have shaped our understanding of society throughout history.
