EDITORS COMMENTS
Heinrich Guttenberg's etching, "The Last Words of Jean Jacques Rousseau," captures a poignant moment in the final days of the influential French philosopher's life. Depicted in the print is Rousseau, seated in a drawing room with a fireplace and an open window, surrounded by two figures, believed to be Jean Michel Moreau le Jeune and his wife. Rousseau, with a quill in hand, appears deep in thought as he dictates his last words to the young artist. The monochrome, grey-toned etching on laid paper, created in 1775, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the time. The artist, Heinrich Guttenberg, masterfully captures the introspective and contemplative mood of the scene, inviting viewers to reflect on the profound impact Rousseau's ideas had on the world. The print is a rare depiction of the philosopher in his final moments, offering a glimpse into his personal life and the people who surrounded him. This historic artwork is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, art, and the human condition. The etching is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
