EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures Jacques Auguste de Thou (1553-1617), a prominent French magistrate and historian, in the later years of his life. Born in the region of Bourbonnais, now known as Boulonais, Thou rose to prominence in the French legal system, serving as a counselor in the Parlement of Paris and later becoming the President of the Chambre des Enquêtes. However, Thou is perhaps best known for his historical works, particularly his 12-volume history of the French monarchy, "Historiae Suae Dynastiae Gallicae," which was published posthumously in 1611. The image portrays Thou in a somber yet thoughtful demeanor, with a furrowed brow and piercing gaze, suggesting the depth of his intellectual pursuits. He is dressed in the robes of a magistrate, signifying his esteemed position in the French legal system. The intricate details of the textured fabric and the rich folds of the garment add a sense of grandeur and importance to the portrait. The background is simple, with a dark, textured wall and a plain wooden chair, drawing the focus to Thou himself. Thou's historical works were groundbreaking in their time, as they were among the first to challenge the traditional view of French history as a series of triumphs and victories. Instead, Thou presented a more nuanced and critical perspective, examining the complexities and contradictions of French history. His work influenced later historians, including Voltaire and Montesquieu, and remains an important contribution to the study of French history. This portrait of Jacques Auguste de Thou offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable figure in French history, a man who straddled the worlds of law and literature, and left an indelible mark on both.
