Description

A finely detailed aquatint depicting the Philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778). His political philosophy influenced the Age of Enlightenment in Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the development of modern political, economic, and educational thought. After his *Emile* outraged the French parliament, an arrest order was issued by parliament against him, causing him to flee to Switzerland. Signed within the plate. On paper.
