EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jean Sylvain Bailly, a prominent figure in French history. Born in 1736, Bailly was not only an accomplished astronomer but also a respected politician. Serving as the President of the National Assembly and later becoming the Mayor of Paris from 1789 to 1790, his influence during this critical period cannot be understated. The intricately detailed copperplate engraving captures Bailly's dignified presence and intellectual prowess. His passion for astronomy shines through as he is depicted with celestial objects surrounding him, symbolizing his significant contributions to the field. However, despite his achievements, Bailly met a tragic fate during the tumultuous times of the French Revolution. As one of its victims, he was ultimately guillotined in 1793. This print serves as a poignant reminder of both Bailly's remarkable accomplishments and the brutal reality that unfolded during this era. It invites viewers to reflect on how even great minds can fall victim to political upheaval and violence. As part of Universal Images Group (UIG)'s collection, this image provides historical insight into an influential individual who played multiple roles within society - scientist, politician, president - all captured within one striking engraving.
