EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of intellectualism and artistic expression in 18th-century France. Titled "Praise of Academiciens of the Royal Academy of Science. . . 1728" this artwork by Bernard Picart showcases a group of distinguished individuals who have made significant contributions to science, education, and the arts. The image depicts a diverse gathering of men and women dressed in elegant attire, surrounded by books and sculptures in a grand library setting. A cherub hovers above them, symbolizing their heavenly achievements. One man points towards an illustration while others engage in deep conversation, emphasizing their dedication to knowledge sharing. Amongst this esteemed company is Bernard Fontenelle, known for his influential works on philosophy and science. His presence adds depth to the scene as he converses with fellow academicians about religious concepts intertwined with scientific discoveries. The print also features elements representing war and military prowess through soldiers' busts and helmets. This juxtaposition highlights how even amidst conflict, these intellectuals strive for progress through education and creativity. Bernard Picart's masterful engraving technique brings this historical moment to life with intricate details such as laurel wreaths adorning heads, delicate drapes cascading from shoulders, and angelic putti observing from above. Preserved within Jean-Claude Carriere's collection, this print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of French academia during the Enlightenment era. It reminds us that knowledge knows no boundaries or limitations when pursued
