Abbe Guillaume Thomas Raynal (1713-1796): A Pioneering Enlightenment Thinker This collection showcases various portraits of the influential Abbe Raynal, a key figure in the French Enlightenment. The first image, "Portrait en frontispiece de Raynal" from the "Philosophical and Political History of the Settlements and Trade of the Europeans in the East and West Indies," reveals Raynal's intellectual stature. The second, a 1773 portrait by Augustin de Saint-Aubin, captures his distinguished appearance. The third and fourth portraits, "Abbe Raynal - 3" and "Abbe Raynal - 2," further illustrate his ecclesiastical status. The fifth portrait, "Nicolas Delaunay after Charles-Nicolas Cochin II," highlights Raynal's role as a prolific writer, while the sixth image, "Paine: Abbe Raynal, 1782," connects him to Thomas Paine, another influential Enlightenment figure. Lastly, the image of Fort Vaux in Verdun, taken in 1916, serves as a reminder that Raynal's ideas and impact extended far beyond his time, shaping the political and philosophical landscape for generations to come.
