| Object history |
Français : Exécutée en 1851 par le graveur néerlandais Johan Hendrick Hoffmeister (1823-1904), c'est le portrait de Comte que le philosophe tenait pour le mieux réussi. Effectué d’après un daguerréotype de 1849, il est peut-être la représentation la plus fidèle de Comte. C’est en tout cas l’image la plus diffusée du philosophe. Son exécution a été financée par le Baron de Constant Rebecque, un officier de la marine hollandaise à la retraite, disciple positiviste et l’un des 13 exécuteurs testamentaires du philosophe. D’après Comte lui même, le portrait a été effectué à La Haye, et lui et Hoffmeister ne se sont jamais rencontrés en personne. Il en reçoit plusieurs exemplaires de la part de Constant Rebecque en 1851 puis en 1853.
English: Executed in 1851 by the Dutch engraver Johan Hendrick Hoffmeister (1823-1904), it is the portrait of Auguste Comte that the philosopher himself considered the best. Made after a daguerreotype taken in 1849, it is perhaps the most faithful depiction of Comte, and in any case the most widely publicized image of the philosopher since his death. The lithograph's execution was funded by the Baron de Constant Rebecque, a retired Dutch navy officer and positivist disciple of Comte. According to Comte himself, the lithograph was created in The Hague, and he and Hoffmeister never met in person. He received several copies of the portrait from Constant Rebecque in 1851 and 1853. |
