EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus, as imagined by the renowned 17th-century artist Peter Paul Rubens and the masterful hand of engraver John Barlow. Democritus, born in 460 BC in Abdera, Thrace, is considered one of the most influential figures in the history of Western philosophy. Known as the 'Laughing Philosopher' due to his belief in an atomistic universe that brought about infinite possibilities and the inherent joy in existence, Democritus challenged the established philosophical norms of his time. Democritus is depicted here with a round, bald head, adorned with a curly, untamed beard, reflecting the traditional artistic representation of the philosopher. His intense gaze and furrowed brow suggest deep contemplation, while the slight smile on his lips hints at the joy he found in his atomic theory. The intricately detailed engraving by Barlow brings out the textures of Rubens' painting, allowing us to appreciate the richness of the artist's brushstrokes and the philosopher's character. This print serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Democritus' ideas and the artistic collaboration between Rubens and Barlow during the Baroque period. It invites us to reflect on the philosophical concepts that continue to shape our understanding of the universe and our place within it.
