EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot, a prominent figure in 18th-century France. Painted by an anonymous French artist, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 36 x 53 cm and is currently housed at the Château de Versailles in France. Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot, also known as Baron de Laune, was not only a renowned economist but also a statesman of great influence. As one of the leading proponents of Physiocracy, an economic school that emphasized natural economic laws and the importance of land as the source of wealth, Turgot believed strongly in limited government intervention in economic affairs. In addition to his groundbreaking ideas on economics, Turgot was a passionate advocate for reform and equality. Throughout his career as Minister of the Navy from 1774 to 1776, he vehemently opposed providing financial support to the American Revolutionary War due to concerns about its impact on France's economy. This portrait captures Turgot's intellectual prowess and determination with remarkable detail. His wig and lace collar symbolize his status as a high-ranking official while reflecting the fashion trends of his time. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into the mind of an idealistic reformer who dedicated himself to challenging privilege and promoting progressive change within French society.
