EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the image of Kong-Fu-Tse, also known as Confucius, who is revered as the most celebrated philosopher in China. Created around 1729 by artist Henry Fletcher, this engraving depicts a man who lived during the 5th and 6th centuries BC but left an indelible mark on Chinese history. Confucius was not only a thinker and political figure but also an esteemed educator. He founded the Ru School of Chinese thought and his teachings, recorded in the Analects, continue to shape much of Chinese philosophy regarding education and personal conduct. In this portrait, we see Confucius standing tall in traditional robes that symbolize his wisdom and religious devotion. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this depiction of a man whose influence has transcended centuries. The artist skillfully captures Confucius' contemplative expression, hinting at his profound thoughts on life's complexities. This image invites us to ponder upon the ideals he espoused - virtues such as respect for elders, filial piety, sincerity, justice, and moral integrity. As we gaze upon this historic portrayal of one of China's greatest thinkers, we are reminded of how philosophy can shape societies across time. Confucius continues to be revered for his contributions to Chinese culture while inspiring generations with his teachings on becoming an ideal person through self-improvement and ethical behavior.
