EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases Baron Friedrich Melchior Grimm, an influential figure in the 18th century French culture. Engraved by Lecerf in 1769, this portrait captures the essence of a man who played a significant role in spreading French cultural influence across Europe. Baron Grimm, born in Germany but later embraced his French identity, was not only a writer but also a patron of the Parisian literary circle. His close friendship with Denis Diderot and romantic involvement with Madame d'Épinay added to his intriguing persona. The profile view captured in this engraving highlights his distinguished features and elegant wig. Despite facing financial ruin at one point, Baron Grimm found support through a pension from Catherine II the Great of Russia. This allowed him to continue his intellectual pursuits and maintain connections within artistic circles. Notably, Baron Grimm launched a cultural newsletter that served as an important platform for disseminating ideas and promoting artistic endeavors during that era. His contributions helped shape the intellectual landscape of France and beyond. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into the life of an extraordinary individual whose passion for literature, art, and culture left an indelible mark on European society.
