Portret van Cesare Beccaria c. 1764 - 1810

"Portret van Cesare Beccaria" is a portrait print by French artist Pierre Gabriel Langlois, created between 1764 and 1810. It depicts Cesare Beccaria, an Italian jurist and philosopher known for his work on criminal justice reform. Langlois's print presents Beccaria in a contemplative pose, dressed in a dark robe, a detail that highlights his intellectual authority. The print's simple composition and grayscale tones create a sense of formality and realism, typical of portraiture during the 18th century. The artwork is a valuable historical document that offers insights into both the life of Cesare Beccaria and the artistic practices of Pierre Gabriel Langlois.
